What is frequency encoding gradient in MRI?
Frequency encoding is used to determine one axis in the xy-plane of the slice. Just like with slice selection, remember that the presence of a magnetic field gradient creates a corresponding gradient in the precession frequencies of the protons along that direction.
What is frequency encoding gradient?
As they are of different frequencies, they will eventually become of different phases. Adding the signals together gives a large signal at the start, when they are still all in phase, but this signal drops off as the phases diverge. This gradient is called the “read out” or “frequency encoding” gradient.
Which of the following gradients are responsible for frequency encoding?
A 2-D pulse sequence illustrated. In this example, the z-axis field gradient is used to perform slice selection and the x-axis field gradient is responsible for frequency encoding.
What is the difference between phase encoding and frequency encoding in MRI?
The slice selection gradient is always applied perpendicular to the slice plane. The phase encoding gradient is applied along one of the sides of the image plane. The frequency encoding gradient is applied along the remaining edge of the image plane.
