MRI gradient coils -- 2.5. Radiofrequency (RF) transmitter -- 2.6. RF receiver -- 2.7. Scaffolding bubble -- 2.8. The briefest of introductions to k-space (traversing frequency space) -- 2.9. Summary and looking ahead 3. Basic building blocks for MRI -- 3.1. Introduction -- 3.2. Contrast and spatial resolution -- 3.3. Relaxation (what, how, and when?) -- 3.4.

The purpose of this book is to provide a conceptual approach to understanding the basics of MRI. This book develops materials along a clinical perspective along with a technological examination of how MRI works. Radiology residents, technologists, and technical sales specialists who want to understand the goals of clinical scanners will find this book useful. This book further supports application-oriented MRI objectives of MP3.0 for MRI scientists., medical physicists, and biomedical engineers. MRI concepts and practices have developed enormously over the last 30 years, and this book provides readers with a start to up-to-date overview of current techniques and practices. Part of IPEM-IOP Series in Physics and Engineering in Medicine and Biology.
Medical residents, researchers, radiology technologists.
Mode of access: World Wide Web.
System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.
