Abstract

In an NMR experiment, the movements of an object are represented by carrying out a harmonic analysis of the images based on a resolution of the movement of the object into a Fourier series. There is then obtained a set of images which is representative of the Fourier components of this movement. The images are then recombined at will so as to produce either a general moving image, or an image of those parts which are motionless in the object, or finally an image of only those parts which are in motion.
