- Students interested in magnetic resonance should find a copy of MRI: The Basics, by Ray H. Hashemi and William G. Bradley (Baltimore, MD: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003). An excellent online resource is www.e-mri.org, which includes a tutorial of K-space and the Fourier transform. If your interest was piqued by my discussion of lung imaging via hyperpolarized gases, I recommend Stephen Kadlecek's 2002 paper “Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Polarized Gases” (American Scientist 90, p. 540).
