"Preface Book Synopsis Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a rapidly developing field in basic, applied science and clinical practice. Research efforts in this field have already been recognized with five Nobel prizes, awarded to seven Nobel laureates during the last 69 years. The book begins with a general description of the phenomenon of magnetic resonance and a brief summary of Fourier transformations in two dimensions. It proceeds to examine the fundamental principles of physics for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal formation and image construction. To this extent, there is a detailed reference to the mathematical formulation of MRI using the imaging equation, description of the relaxation parameters T1 and T2, and reference to specific pulse sequences and data acquisition schemes. Additionally, numerous image quantitative indices are presented, including signal, noise, signal-to-noise, contrast, and resolution. The second part of the book discusses the hardware and electronics of an MRI scanner, the typical measurements and simulations of magnetic fields based on the law of Biot-Savart, followed by an introduction to NMR spectroscopy, and to dedicated spectral techniques employing various pulse sequences. The third part discusses advanced imaging techniques. While the list may contain numerous modern applications, including cardiac MR, coronary and peripheral angiography, flow, diffusion, and functional MRI (fMRI), the focus is maintained on parallel imaging. The book is enriched with numerousworked examples and problem sets with selected solutions. Nobel Prizes in Magnetic Resonance Magnetic resonance imaging is a field that emerged right after the Second World War, as a result of experimental work that was initiated initially for spectroscopy"--Provided by publisher.
Autorenporträt
Christakis Constantinides, PhD joined the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Cyprus in September 2005. He has also acted as a consultant to his start-up firm, Chi-Biomedical Ltd. ever since. His specific research interest focuses on the study of cardiac mechanical function, computational and tissue structure modeling and characterization, hardware design, and functional and cellular tracking methods using MRI. The goal of his research efforts is the complete characterization of the electromechanical function of the heart in small animals and humans, aiming to promote the understanding of mechanisms of human disease that is predominantly underlined by genetic causes.
