The Physics and Mathematics of MRI (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a very important clinical imaging tool. It combines different fields of physics and engineering in a uniquely complex way. MRI is also surprisingly versatile, "pulse sequences" can be designed to yield many different types of contrast. This versatility is unique to MRI. This short book gives both an in-depth account of the methods used for the operation and construction of modern MRI systems and also the principles of sequence design and many examples of applications. An important additional feature of this book is the detailed discussion of the mathematical principles used in building optimal MRI systems and for sequence design. The mathematical discussion is suitable for undergraduates attending medical physics courses. It is also more complete than usually found in alternative books for physical scientists or more clinically orientated works.
