Since its inception in 1971. MRI has developed into a premier tool for anatomical and runaional 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
contains a omprehensive set or examples and homework problems. This textbook will provide students of biomedical engineering. biophysics. chetnistry. electrical engineering. and radiology with a systematic. in-depth understanding of MRI principles.
