Explore the processes of Image Reproduction and Functional MRI mechanism, including Filtered Back Projection and Phase Encoding methods. Learn about brain activity, blood flow, and oxygen consumption using Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques.

Filtered backprojection • Filter the measured projection data at different projection • angles with a special function. • Backproject the filtered projection data to form the • reconstructed image. • Filtering can be implemented in 2 ways, in the spatial domain, the filter operation is • equivalent to to convolving the measured projection data using a special convolving • function h(t) • More efficient multiplication will be in the spatial frequency domain. • FFT the measured projection data into the frequency domain: • p(,)=FT {p(t, ) • Multiply the the fourier transform projections with the special function. • Inverse Fourier transform the product p’(,).
