Signal Encoding and Image
Reconstruction

This work was accepted as a PhD thesis by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Freiburg, Germany. It spans five years of research conducted from April 2007 until March 2012. In particular researchers and engineers who work in the field of biomedical engineering might profit from reading this text. A new approach of image encoding in magnetic resonance imaging is described: The fundamental principle of gradient linearity is challenged by investigating the possibilities of acquiring anatomical images with the help of nonlinear gradient fields.
