Inversion of Magnetic Resonance Sounding data

In this paper the basics, state of the art, current and future developments considering inversion of Magnetic Resonance Sounding (MRS) data are presented. A very brief account is given about the MRS method as such to an extent for better understanding of inversion and what it relates to. The inversion is introduced in general terms as usual for the geophysical data, with emphasis on major issues on schemes and their impact on the results in an extension necessary to follow the inversion for MRS. The most extensive and fundamental equation currently available for MRS modelling, the very basis of inversion, is presented, discussed and assessed for its completeness and properties. Based on this expression and its simplified forms for different purposes the current use of inversion in default and in research i.e. new developments are shown. For practical purposes an account on existing schemes and computer software is given and compared on their properties and abilities.
