Your section on how various weightings and gradients return information of different brighness or color is very helpful.

As far as I know, magnetic and RF fields cannot be collimated to anywhere close to the precision of collimated ionizing ratioactive. The thing I don't yet grasp in MRI is how the image is formed form the individual images. Can you help define that, preferably comparing it with SPECT and CT? [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C.

Your section on how various weightings and gradients return information of different brighness or color is very helpful.

I have at least a conceptual grasp of how the image is built from the set of tomographic images.
