Already considered the preeminent text in MR physics, this new edition explains the physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging design and implementation using consistent nomenclature and notation. This book provides the most comprehensive yet approachable introduction to the physics and applications of magnetic resonance imaging. Chapters are organized into two broad sections, the first providing an introduction to fundamental principles, with coverage of magnetization, relaxation, quantum mechanics, signal detection and acquisition, Fourier imaging, image reconstruction, contrast, signal and noise. The second part focuses on methods such as fast imaging, water-fat separation, steady-state gradient-echo imaging, echo train, diffusion-weighted imaging, and induced magnetism. The book concludes with discussion of hardware.
