Metin Akay. Series Editor
Since its inception in 1971. MRI has developed into a premier tool for anatomical and runaional imaging. Prin ples ofMagne c 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 omprehensive set or examples and homework problems. This textbook will provide students of biomedical engineering. biophysics. chetnistry. electrical engineering. and radiology with a systematic. in-depth understanding of MRI principles.
