MRI: The Basics 4th edition

This guide introduces the basics of magnetic resonance imaging, covering its physics from basic principles to more advanced topics, such as MR angiography and fast scanning techniques, and techniques made possible with high-performance gradients, such as echo planar imaging. It contains an introductory math chapter and discussion of the process of image creation, including the concepts of gradients, signal/image processing, and k-space, and artifacts. This edition has new chapters on general MR safety, contrast safety, MR elastography, MR relaxometry, and motion correction; 100 new board-style questions in a separate chapter; and discussion of susceptibility-weighted imaging, including other potential spin-off uses beyond hemorrhage detection. Also included is online access to an ebook. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
