The recent re-introduction of the two-dimensional Fourier transformation (2D-FT) has allows for the transformation of arbitrarily sampled time domain signals. In this respect, radial sampling, where two incremented time dimensions (t(1) and t(2)) are sampled such that t(1)=taucosalpha and t(2)=tausinalpha, is especially appealing because of the relatively small leakage artifacts that occur upon Fourier transformation. Unfortunately radially sampled time domain data results in a fundamental artifact in the frequency domain manifested as a ridge of intensity extending through the peak positions perpendicular to +/- the radial sampling angle. Successful removal of the ridge artifacts using existing algorithms requires absorptive line shapes. Here we present two procedures for retrospective phase correction of arbitrarily sampled data.
