First Edition. xxxii, 288 pages. 8vo. Pictorial boards. Ex-library Rowland Institute for Science with spine label, ink stamps on several pages and textblock edges, and rear library pocket. Clean internally. Boards. "Magnetic Resonance Imaging introduces clinical and mathematical concepts gradually and deliberately, making the complex procedure of MRI accessible to professionals in all areas of neuroscience and neurology as well as those in mathematics, engineering, radiology, and physics." (rear cover) "Founded in 1981 as the "last experiment" of the accomplished scientist and entrepreneur Edwin H. Land, the Rowland Institute has developed a distinguished reputation for multi- and interdisciplinary research, especially in evolving areas at the junction of traditional fields such as physics and biology." (Harvard Gazette, 2002). "The Rowland Institute at Harvard, formerly the Rowland Institute for Science, was founded by Edwin H. Land (founder of Polaroid Corporation) as a nonprofit, privately endowed basic research organization in 1980. The institute merged with Harvard University on July 1, 2002. The Rowland Institute is dedicated to experimental science across a wide range of disciplines. Research subjects at the institute includes chemistry, physics and biology, and focus on interdisciplinary work and the development of new experimental tools." (Wikipedia) The Rowland Institute for Science library was dismantled when the Rowland Institute moved from it's original home at 100 Edwin H Land Blvd, Cambridge MA to its new home on Oxford St at Harvard. …

Mathematical Foundations and Applications
By Walter J. Schempp
As magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) continues to transform medical diagnostics and the study of the brain, the necessity for a more precise description of this important clinical tool is increasingly evident. A mathematical understanding of MRI and the related imaging modalities of functional MRI and NMR spectroscopy can greatly improve many scientific and medical endeavors, from the quality of scans in the tomographic slices and their semantic interpretations to minimally invasive neurosurgery and research in cognitive neuroscience.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging advances a coherent mathematical theory of MRI and presents for the first time a real-world application of non-commutative Fourier analysis. Emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of clinical MRI, this book offers an intriguing look at the geometric principles underlying the quantum phenomena of biomedical research. Author Walter J. Schempp, widely respected among mathematicians and neuro-network scientists alike, includes in this lucid, readable text:
* The historical and phenomenological aspects of NMR spectroscopy and clinical MRI
* A mathematical approach to the structure-function problem in clinical MRI
* Detailed descriptions of applications to medical diagnostics
* Photographs illustrating the superior contrast and spatial resolution achieved by MRI
* An extensive list of references.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging introduces clinical and mathematical concepts gradually and deliberately, making the complex procedure of MRI accessible to professionals in all areas of neuroscience and neurology, as well as those in mathematics, engineering, radiology, and physics.
