This book is intended as a text/reference for students and researchers interested in physical and biomedical applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Both the theoretical and practical aspects of MRI are emphasized. The book begins with a comprehensive discussion of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) phenomenon based on quantum mechanics and the classical theory of electromagnetism. The reader is then introduced to the principles of image reconstruction in MRI: the use of Fourier transform, point-spread function, spatial resolution, and aliasing. Basic MRI techniques for spatial encoding and commonly used imaging pulse sequences are considered in detail. The discussion then focuses on contrast mechanisms in MRI, as well as different techniques used to improve contrast in MR images. Due to the importance of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in terms of image quality, the subject of SNR is addressed, highlighting the dependence on SNR on imaging parameters and field strength. Following the SNR discussion, common artifacts in MRI as well as the developed techniques for artifact reduction are described. Two chapters are dedicated to the subject of flow imaging and rapid MRI required for state-of-the-art diagnostic medical imaging. Key Features:
