Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomedical/Electrical Engineering Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging A Signal Processing Perspective 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 Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging 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.
In 1971 Dr. Paul C. Lauterbur pioneered spatial information encoding principles that made image formation possible by using magnetic resonance signals. Now Lauterbur, "father of the MRI", and Dr. Zhi-Pei Liang have co-authored the first engineering textbook on magnetic resonance imaging.
