Synopsis

This book delineates the principles of magnetic resonance imaging in a format that can be understood by readers who do not have a sophisticated physics or mathematics background. It is organized in three sections: sections one and two present the contrast and spatial characteristics of the image; section three deals with topics such as Half Fourier imaging, motion, aliasing, artifacts, and coils. For this third edition, the author has made the following improvements: - Updated obsolete concepts and references to technology and equipment no longer current. - Additional sections on new techniques now in common use, such as rectangular field of view and fast spin-echo (or echo-planar) sequences - A new chapter on the effect of MR equipment parameters on image resolution, including photographic examples. - Added a new chapter on simplified mathematical discussion of the Fourier transform. - Modified and enhanced the section on magnetic resonance angiography.
