  • More about Magnetic Resonance Imaging: The Basics


Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a rapidly developing field with five Nobel prizes awarded to seven Nobel laureates in the past 70 years. This book provides a solid introduction to this powerful technology, covering the phenomenon of magnetic resonance, Fourier transformations, physics, mathematical formulation, image quantitative indices, hardware and electronics, NMR spectroscopy, spectral acquisition, and parallel imaging. It is enriched by numerous worked examples and problem sets with selected solutions.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a rapidly evolving field in basic applied science and clinical practice, with research efforts recognized with five Nobel prizes awarded to seven Nobel laureates in the past 70 years. Magnetic Resonance Imaging: The Basics, taught at The Johns Hopkins University, provides a comprehensive introduction to this powerful technology. The book begins with a general description of magnetic resonance and Fourier transformations in two dimensions. It examines the fundamental principles of physics for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal formation and image construction, providing a detailed explanation of the mathematical formulation of MRI. Numerous image quantitative indices, such as signal, noise, signal-to-noise ratio, contrast, and resolution, are discussed.

The second part of the book explores the hardware and electronics of MRI scanners, as well as the typical measurements and simulations of magnetic fields. It introduces NMR spectroscopy and spectral acquisition and imaging techniques employing various pulse sequences. The final section explores the advanced imaging technique of parallel imaging.

Structured to build on knowledge gained in each chapter, the book is enriched with numerous worked examples and problem sets with selected solutions, providing readers with a firm grasp of the foundations of MRI technology.
