MRI k-Space

An MRI scanner never measures an image: magnetic field gradients encode spatial position as the frequency and phase of the NMR signal, so each readout fills one trajectory through k-space — the 2D Fourier transform of the image — and an inverse FFT reconstructs the anatomy.

This Concept is waiting for its first lesson!
