In 1971 Dr. Paul C. Lauterbur pioneered spatial informationencoding principles that made image formation possible by usingmagnetic resonance signals. Now Lauterbur, "father of the MRI", andDr. Zhi-Pei Liang have co-authored the first engineering textbookon magnetic resonance imaging. This long-awaited, definitive textwill help undergraduate and graduate students of biomedicalengineering, biomedical imaging scientists, radiologists, andelectrical engineers gain an in-depth understanding of MRIprinciples. The authors use a signal processing approach to describe thefundamentals of magnetic resonance imaging. You will find a clearand rigorous discussion of these carefully selected essentialtopics: 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 Complete with a comprehensive set of examples and homeworkproblems, Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging is themust-read book to improve your knowledge of this revolutionarytechnique.
