This Wiki is a resource for people who are assembling, programming, or using the instructional tabletop MRI scanner designed by Larry Wald's group at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital.

The scanner design is an open-source, low-cost resource for demonstrating the concepts like magnetic resonance, spatial encoding, and the Fourier transform in an educational setting. The system was first used in MIT's undergraduate course 6.S02 - Intro to EECS II from a Medical Technology Perspective.
