The basic concepts and models used in the study of nuclear magnetic resonance are introduced. A simple imaging experiment is described, as well as, the reduction of the problem of selective excitation to a classical problem in inverse scattering.

Nous introduisons les concepts et modèles de base en résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN). Nous décrivons une expérience d'imagerie simple ainsi que la réduction du problème d'excitation sélective à un problème de scattering inverse.
