Handbook of MRI Pulse Sequences, Second Edition includes 92 self-contained sections, with each section focusing on a single subject. A new section on detailing the advanced pulse sequence techniques covers a variety of basic and advanced image reconstruction methods. The extensive topic coverage and cross-referencing makes this book ideal for beginners learning the building blocks of MRI pulse sequence design, as well as for experienced professionals who are seeking deeper knowledge of a particular technique.
This book is among the most important medical imaging techniques available today. Each of these scanners is capable of running many different "pulse sequences." These sequences are governed by physics and engineering principles and implemented by software programs that control the MRI hardware.
