A volume in the IEEE Press Series in Biomedical Engineering
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
