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. This long-awaited, definitive text
will help undergraduate and graduate students of biomedical
engineering, biomedical imaging scientists, radiologists, and
electrical engineers gain an in-depth understanding of MRI
principles.
The authors use a signal processing approach to describe the fundamentals of magnetic resonance imaging. You will find a clear and rigorous discussion of these carefully selected 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
