Opis

This book describes innovative methods to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) beyond its current limitations. The author proposes smart encoding methods and acquisition sequences to deal with frequency displacement due to residual static magnetic field inhomogeneity, motion, and undersampling. After a concise review of basic mathematical tools and the physics of MRI, the book describes each limitation and then proposes solutions for overcoming it. Requiring few or no hardware modifications, these speculative methods represent building blocks for more advanced MRI applications. The book also looks to the future of MRI.
