Abstract: An MRI system for imaging one or more subjects is provided. The MRI system includes a magnet assembly and an MRI controller. The magnet assembly includes an RF coil for transmitting a first set of RF pulses into the one or more subjects at an initial Larmor frequency. The MRI controller is configured to electronically communicate with the RF coil and to adjust a resonant frequency of the RF coil such that the RF coil transmits a second set of RF pulses into the one or more subjects at one or more subsequent Larmor frequencies that are different from the initial Larmor frequency.
