What is frequency encoding direction in MRI?
The frequency-encoding direction is along the x-axis in K-space (may or may not be that axis in the image, if it is rotated); this represents the time samples of the signal. The y-axis is the phase-encoding direction: each phase-encoding step yields a separate horizontal line.
Can an MRI produce three-dimensional images?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces three dimensional detailed anatomical images.
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.
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.
