SpinDynamica is a set of packages for Mathematica, programmed by Malcolm Levitt and others. The software is intended for both analytical and numerical calculations in spin physics, in particular the spin dynamics encountered in magnetic resonance (deriving and manipulating the matrix representations of nuclear spin operators, in arbitrary Hilbert space bases, routines for spin angular momentum operators, product operators, singlet-triplet bases, single transition operators, performing numerical and symbolic spin dynamics simulations of arbitrary pulse sequences or sequences of time-dependent events, etc as well as manipulations of data, including one and two-dimensional Fourier transforms).
This educational physics oriented site authored by Dave Higgins contains several separate educational resources with a focus on MRI-applications. Examples are general and vendor specific acronyms, animations of MR-concepts (though limited to Internet Explorer), learning tools (such as k-space tool, system architecture tool, etc), discussion forum, quizzes, reviews of MR-books, artifact reduction, fat suppression, and more.

This widely used toolbox provides data processing, analysis and visualization on any platform that supports Matlab. A large variety of NMR data formats and standard 1D and 2D processing techniques are supported. Both a graphical interface, and script-based processing are available.

J Magn Reson, (2007), 187:19-26.
Originally in print the basic textbook by P. Rinck and contributors (TRTF/EMRF) for the teaching courses of the first European Workshop on Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and later the European Magnetic Resonance Forum. This is the updated (6th edition) electronic version of the same (320 pages), describing “the most complex imaging technology in medicine”.
