Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Biomedical/Electrical Engineering. Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging A Signal Processing Perspective. A volume in the IEEE Press Series in Biomedical EngineeringMetin Akay. Series Editor. Since its inception in 1971. MRI has developed into a premier tool for anatomical and functional imaging. Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. provides a clear and comprehensive treatment of MR image formation principles from a signal processing perspective. You will find discussion of these essential topics: Mathematical fundamentals. Signal generation and detection principles. Signal characteristics. Signal localization principles. Image reconstruction techniques. Image contrast mechanisms. Image resolution, noise, and artifacts. Fast-scan imaging. Constrained reconstruction. Spatial information encoding. Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. contains a comprehensive set or examples and homework problems. This textbook will provide students of biomedical engineering, biophysics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and radiology with a systematic, in-depth understanding of MRI principles.
