90 excitation pulse vs 180 inversion pulse
I will try an answer to this rather old tread, in case someone stumble upon this like me.

The phenomenon of "coherence" that produce transverse magnetization after a 90 RF pulse cannot be answered by classical mechanics, or any simple model that represents individual protons as precessing magnets in either the parallel/antiparallel direction with regards to the MRI magnetic field.

Rather, it is a phenomenon related to quantum mechanics and the effect of a RF field on a interacting group of particles with spins (not necessarily oriented as parallel/antiparallel, I might add, even under the effect of a magnetic field).

The simplest depiction, as I understand, would be to imagine a group of spins as literally rotating as a whole under the effect of the RF. After a certain time (corresponding to a 90 degree pulse), the net magnetization that was oriented parallel to the MRI magnetic field, is now oriented in the transverse plane, causing transverse magnetization and signal. If you further apply RF, the system will continue to rotate, shifting gradually toward an antiparralel orientation, losing transverse magnetization in the process.

Hope its clearer!

Building 3d Volumes from MRI DICOM
I have a number of MRI and CTs since a bad accident. I am a Mechanical Engineer with an electrical, power and computer background.

I was able to render the CT to 3D using Onis (not sure if you've seen this program), but have been unable to manage it with any of the MRIs.

The MRIs were taken on a Phillips Intera 1.5T

I can render a volume but only (1) of the (3) 2D images are clear before it is rendered and the resulting 3D image is just noise. I've tried various software packages and spent a lot of time with the software. Perhaps I don't have the required image files.

Maybe someone knows the answer.

Thanks,

Bob
