Gradient echo sequences replace the 180 refocusing pulse with the magnetic field gradient pulse. After the initial RF pulse, a gradient pulse is applied, and this causes the protons to rapidly dephase along the gradient direction and rapid decline of the FID signal. This loss of phase coherence is reversed by adding a second gradient pulse of ...

There's that other Maxwell equation, ∇ × B = J +E˙. ∇ × B = J + E ˙. If you take B B to have a gradient component ∇f ∇ f, it makes no contribution to this equation either, so adding a ∇f ∇ f to B B that satisfies ∇2f = 0 ∇ 2 f = 0 does not affect the dynamics at all (much as adding a ∇Λ ∇ Λ to A A doesn't affect B B at ...
