bulletMRI Physics

Visit ReviseMRI.com. It includes the K-Space Tool, as well as animated web tutorials on k-space, and over 100 questions and answers on basic MRI physics.  With every discussion there are links to further reading both in popular textbooks and online.

The K-Space Tool simulates the manipulation of k-space data before performing the 2DFT in order to create an image. This allows you to see the effects of such manipulations as high-pass (removing low spatial frequencies) and low-pass filters (removing high spatial frequencies), reduced scan percentage, partial Fourier, motion, noise and more. It is inspired by MRI-Toy, a program written by Dr Eltjo Haselhoff.

Internet Explorer 5.x or higher, and the Office Animation Runtime are needed for the web tutorials. See Tutorials Help.
