Abstract
An MRI system acquires NMR signals and digitizes them at a fixed sample rate. A lower, prescribed sample rate is obtained by fractionally decimating the sampled NMR signals. Fractional decimation is achieved by a combination of zeropadding the sampled NMR signal in the frequency domain and decimating the sampled NMR signal in the time domain.
