A method of excitation for use during an NMR examination includes the subjecting
of a body (92) to an orienting magnetic field (B0). The body (92)
is adiabatically conditioned with a first series of Rf pulses (IP1-IPn).
The body (92) is excited with a second series of RF pulses (E1-Em)
in a presence of gradient field pulses. A resonance signal is emitted from the
body (92) in response to the second series of RF pulses (E1-Em).
