2.25 Do some review and prepare for the interview

Today I did a little review of Nishimura's Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, page 30 and 31. To excite a certain slice, Gz must be turned on, applying a soft RF containing that frequency. Then what about hard RF? It will excite everything because it contains all the frequencies. I looked back into the textbook because I was reading on Dr. Changho Choi's research in MRS analysis on brain tumor. In his research, Dr. Choi constantly optimizing the PRESS (point-resolved spectroscopy). So I also looked into Dr.Xiaojuan Li's lecture notes on that and find the PRESS profile. I wonder the difference between an RA pulse and sinc function. RF pulse are truncated sinc function.
I briefly read Changho's 3 articles and came up with a summary table.

2.22 Back to Office

Dieter asked if I gained 20 more pounds. The first step is to reset my password and get logged in to my workstation.

Have been traveling too long and need to go back to work and refresh my memory on everything I did.
