Gradient slice select and non-select

[aelster]

For anyone desiring to take the next step into more technical discussions about gradients and pulse sequences, the best resource is Handbook of MRI Pulse Sequences by Bernstein, King and Zhou. It is slightly out of date (2004) for some of the newest techniques, but still the best source. All MR physicists I know have this in their libraries. Chapter 5 will answer your questions.
