Macroscopic picture (typical dimensions (1mm)3 )
Consider nucleus of hydrogen in H2O molecules:proton magnetization randomly aligned

Can perturb equilibrium by exciting at Larmor frequency

With correct strength and duration rf excitation can flip magnetization
e.g. into the transverse plane

Spatial localization - e.g., in 1d what is (x) ?
Once magnetization is in the transverse planeit precesses at the Larmor frequency = 2 B(x)
M(x,t) = Mo (x) exp(-i.. (x,t))
If we apply a linear gradient, Gx ,of magnetic field along x the accumulated phase at x after time t will be:
(x,t) = ∫o
t x Gx(t') dt'
(ignoring carrier term)

S(t)
For an antenna sensitive to all the precessing magnetization, the measured signal is:
S(t) = ∫ M(x,t) dx
= Mo ∫ (x) exp (-i.(. Gx) x.t) dx
therefore:
(x) = ∫ M(x,t) dx
= Mo ∫ S(t) exp (i. c. x.t) dt

For NMR in a magnet with imperfect homogeneity, spin coherence is lost because of spatially varying precession
Hahn (UC Berkeley)showed that this could be reversed by flipping the spins through 180° - the spin echo
In MRI, spatially varying fields are appliedto provide spatial localization - these spatially varying magnetic fields must also becompensated - the gradient echo
