Description
Written for medical professionals involved in obtaining and interpreting MR images, the text makes use of a visual, image-based style. The author succinctly explains the scientific principles of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy, conveying an appreciation for the signal encoding and decoding processes employed in MR, while at the same time cultivating in the reader a working understanding of the contrast mechanisms which apply in the acquisition and display of MR data. In addition, the text provides readers with the conceptual tools required to keep abreast of innovations in the field, while serving as a ready reference for questions relating to image quality and artefacts, allowing readers to critically evaluate the different systems and techniques available for clinical MR imaging.
