Description
This indispensable guide gives concise yet comprehensive descriptions of the pulse sequences commonly used on modern MRI scanners. The
book consists of a total of 65 self-contained sections, each focused on a single subject. Written primarily for scientists, engineers,
radiologists, and graduate students who are interested in an in-depth understanding of various MRI pulse sequences, it serves readers
with a diverse set of backgrounds by providing both non-mathematical and mathematical descriptions.
The book is divided into five parts.
Part I of the book describes two mathematical tools, Fourier transforms and the rotating reference frame, that are useful for understanding
MRI pulse sequences. The second part is devoted to a wide variety of radiofrequency (RF) pulses, and the third part focuses on gradient
waveforms. Data acquisition, image reconstruction, and physiological monitoring related to pulse sequence design form the subject of
Part IV of the book. Once this foundation is established, Part V of the book describes the underlying principles, implementation, and
selected applications of many pulse sequences commonly in use today.
The extensive topic coverage and cross-referencing makes this
book ideal for beginners learning the building blocks of MRI pulse sequence design, as well as for experienced professionals who are
seeking deeper knowledge of a particular technique.
Audience
Researchers and clinicians in radiology, chemistry, biochemistry, pathology, psychology, neurology, and oncology who use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
