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.

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.
