  1. MR Review Lecture 4 MR: 2D Projection Reconstruction, 2D FT Longitudinal Magnetization returns to equilibrium as Transverse Magnetization Gradients’ effect on B-field B-field’s effect on frequency

  2. MR Review (2) Signal equation related to k-space Signal Equation The MR signal is always telling us a point of the frequency domain expression for M, the Fourier Transform of m(x,y), the proton density of the image. The mapping between s(t) and the points in k-space is determined by the gradient waveforms.

  10. Object Domain In MR, S(t) gives a radial line in k-space. y’ y x’ F.T. Central Section Theorem x F.T. x’ Interesting - Time signal gives spatial frequency information of m(x,y)

  11. 2D Fourier Transform (4) – 2 sided Readout or frequency-encode gradient (stays the same) Gx t By far, the 2 sided 2D FT is the most popular. Phase-encode gradient (varies) Gy t # of steps: 128-512 In practice, I(x,y) is complex-valued. Displayed image is |I(x,y)|, not Re{I(x,y)} Theoretically: is a real image Practically: has a phase due to imperfect, inhomogenous B0 field

  15. Review: Phase Encoding Consider the 64 x 8 box to the right. A series of MR experiments as described above were performed. To simplify visualization, a 1D FFT was done on each experiment. The results are shown on the bottom where each row is a separate experiment with a different Y direction phase weighting. ky kx
