Academic Press Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Recording, Reconstruction and Assessment (Primers in Biomedical Imaging Devices and Systems)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Recording, Reconstruction and Assessment gives a detailed overview of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), along with its applications and challenges. The book explores the abnormalities in internal human organs using MRI techniques while also featuring case studies that illustrate measures used. In addition, it explores precautionary measures used during MRI based imaging, the selection of appropriate contrast agents, and the selection of the appropriate modality during the image registration. Sections introduce medical imaging, the use of MRI in brain, cardiac, lung and kidney detection, and also discuss both 2D and 3D imaging techniques and various MRI modalities. This volume will be of interest to researchers, engineers and medical professionals involved in the development and use of MRI systems.
