Synopsis
Since its inception in 1971, MRI has developed into a premier tool for anatomical and functional imaging. This textbook provides a clear and comprehensive treatment of MR image formation principles from a signal processing perspective.
Coverage includes: 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; and spatial information encoding.
The text contains comprehensive examples and homework problems. It will give students of biomedical engineering, biophysics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and radiology a systematic, in-depth understanding of MRI principles.
