1 Spatial encoding in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Jean-Marie BONNY

2 What s Qu est an image ce qu une? image? «a reproduction of a material object by a camera or a related technique» Multi-dimensional signal I(r) r = vector of spatial coordinates (x,y,z) T Signal intensity of the image I is scalar = Image with a single frame I is a vector = Multi-channel image

3 The first Qu est MR image ce qu une image? Made by Paul LAUTERBUR, Nature (1973) Zeumatography comes from the reek word zeugma, or yoke, to signify the fact that the technique links chemical and spatial information

4 There Qu est are 3 spatial ce qu une dimensions image? In real world, images should be in 3D Human brain V = 3 x 3 x 3 mm 3
