abstract = {The spatial resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
is limited by the width of Lorentzian point spread functions
associated with the transverse relaxation rate 1/T2*. Here,
we show a different contrast mechanism in MRI by
establishing RASER (radio-frequency amplification by
stimulated emission of radiation) in imaged media. RASER
imaging bursts emerge out of noise and without applying
radio-frequency pulses when placing spins with sufficient
population inversion in a weak magnetic field gradient.
Small local differences in initial population in-version
density can create stronger image contrast than conventional
MRI. This different contrast mechanism is based on the
cooperative nonlinear interaction between all slices. On the
other hand, the cooperative nonlinear interaction gives rise
to imaging artifacts, such as amplitude distortions and side
lobes outside of the imaging domain. Contrast mechanism and
artifacts are explored experimentally and predicted by
simulations on the basis of a proposed RASER MRI theor},
