Synopsis

This talk will cover the basics of spatial encoding in MRI.

• Using magnetic field gradients for spatial encoding: slice selection, frequency and phase encoding.
• Fourier relationship between image space and k-space.
• Intuitive description of k-space and it's link to spatial frequencies in the image.
• Properties of k-space.
• Different readout strategies: multi-shot, single shot, cartesian, non-cartesian, etc.
