Zusammenfassung:A method for decreasing gradient field pulse sequence duration for a magnetic resonance imaging system, the method comprising: establishing an allowable gradient field strength for an axis of a plurality of axes for a field of view; applying a weighting factor associated with each axis of the plurality of axes; establishing a slew rate responsive to a selected axis of the plurality of axes that exhibits a largest gradient field strength in light of the weighting factor and the field of view; and operating the plurality of axes at the largest gradient field strength.
