In MRI the role of Fourier Transform is to:
Change the MR signal into an image
The source function in MRI is a plot of:
Intensity vs time
The Fourier transformation of a spin echo results in information in the:
Frequency domain
In the spatial frequency Domain, sharp-edged objects:
Contain high frequency
Fourier transformation of symmetric spin echo will result in:
An imaginary part equal to zero
Optimum sampling of an MR signal requires that
At least twice a cycle
The result of Fourier Transform in MRI is called an/an
Object, hertz
In MRI smooth objects are represented by:
Low frequencies
Slice selection during MRI imaging requires a magnetic field gradient and:
A shaped RF pulse
MR signals received from moving tissues, e.g. flowing blood:
Contains non-zero imaginary parts when Fourier transformed
In MRI sampling the process of:
Changing the MR signal from continuous to discrete
Aliasing in MR imaging results in the appearance of:
A wrapped objects
If the symbol FT stands for Fourier transform, the symbol FT-1 stands for:
Inverse Fourier transform
The Fourier transformation of an MRI signal results in a function that is a plot of:
Intensity vs 1/time
To truncate an MR signal is to:
Chop of the frequency range abruptly
