| the physics and mathematics of mri: The Physics and Mathematics of MRI Richard Ansorge, Martin Graves, 2016-11-01 Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a very important clinical imaging tool. It combines different fields of physics and engineering in a uniquely complex way. MRI is also surprisingly versatile, 'pulse sequences' can be designed to yield many different types of contrast. This versatility is unique to MRI. This short book gives both an in depth account of the methods used for the operation and construction of modern MRI systems and also the principles of sequence design and many examples of applications. An important additional feature of this book is the detailed discussion of the mathematical principles used in building optimal MRI systems and for sequence design. The mathematical discussion is very suitable for undergraduates attending medical physics courses. It is also more complete than usually found in alternative books for physical scientists or more clinically orientated works. |

| the physics and mathematics of mri: Computational Molecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Neuro-oncology Michael O. Dada, Bamidele O. Awojoyogbe, 2021-07-31 Based on the analytical methods and the computer programs presented in this book, all that may be needed to perform MRI tissue diagnosis is the availability of relaxometric data and simple computer program proficiency. These programs are easy to use, highly interactive and the data processing is fast and unambiguous. Laboratories (with or without sophisticated facilities) can perform computational magnetic resonance diagnosis with only T1 and T2 relaxation data. The results have motivated the use of data to produce data-driven predictions required for machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research.

| the physics and mathematics of mri: Translational Dynamics and Magnetic Resonance Paul T. Callaghan, 2011-09-15 Taking the reader through the underlying principles of molecular translational dynamics, this book outlines the ways in which magnetic resonance, through the use of magnetic field gradients, can reveal those dynamics. The measurement of diffusion and flow, over different length and time scales, provides unique insight regarding fluid interactions with porous materials, as well as molecular organisation in soft matter and complex fluids. The book covers both time and frequency domain methodologies, as well as advances in scattering and diffraction methods, multidimensional exchange and correlation experiments and orientational correlation methods ideal for studying anisotropic environments. At the heart of these new methods resides the ubiquitous spin echo, a phenomenon whose discovery underpins nearly every major development in magnetic resonance methodology. Measuring molecular translational motion does not require high spectral resolution and so finds application in new NMR technologies concerned with 'outside the laboratory' applications, in geophysics and petroleum physics, in horticulture, in food technology, in security screening, and in environmental monitoring. |

| the physics and mathematics of mri: Totally Accessible MRI Michael L. Lipton, 2010-04-28 BSD All magnetic resonance technologists and all radiologists who work with magnetic resonance (MR) technology can be divided into two subgroups: (1) those who understand the underlying physics principles and how to apply them; and (2) those who do not. For so many patients and for so many diagnostic considerations, the difference between membership in these two groups is minimal. One can easily diagnose a vestibular schwannoma and accurately differentiate it from a cerebellopontine angle meningioma without being that well versed with many of the concepts underlying the creation of the MR images on which these tumors are depicted. One by rote can generate images of the pelvis that are quite diagnostic and aesthetically pleasing without really understanding the intricate interrelationships between the varying imaging parameters used in the generation of the obtained image contrast. There are certain situations, however, for which a more in depth und- standing isrequired. For example: Seeing tissue signaldisappear on a short T1 inversion recovery sequence yet recognizing that it does not have to originate from fat but may come from methemoglobin or some other short T1 tissue may prove clinicallyvital for arriving at the correct diagnosis. For suchcircumstances,understanding the underlying principles that govern the creation of the image and the contrast contained therein is critical and sets one apart and distinctlyahead of the competition, whocannot make this claim. |
