Abstract

In this work we consider the problem of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We propose and formulate a finite element method to handle this problem and present an adaptive algorithm for local mesh refinements. Reconstructions from experimental MR data are shown and used to compare different interpolation techniques.
