Summary: | This textbook gives a comprehensive survey of the analytical treatment of MRI physics & engineering. It gives readers the background needed to cope with the problems that arise when applying MRI in medicine or when (sub)systems or sequences for new applications are designed. Special attention is paid to the treatment of intrinsic artefacts of the different sequences, which can be described in a mathematically uniform way for the different scan methods. The book contains many images, especially showing specific properties of the different scan methods. The methods discussed include RARE, GRACE, EPI, & Spiral Scan. Thiss second edition has been expanded in various places & includes recent developments.
