Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a modern technique for producing pictures of the internals of the human body. An MR scanner subjects its contents to carefully modulated electro-magnetic fields and records the resulting radio signal. The radio signal is the Fourier transform of the density of (for example) hydrogen atoms. Computing the inverse Fourier transform of the digitized signal reveals an image of the (hydrogen density of the) contents of the scanner. Functional MRI (fMRI) is a very recent development in which MRI is used to produce images of the human brain which show regions of activation reflecting the functioning of the brain.
