Course description
This advanced MRI course covers the physical principles of MRI and sequence design issues.
Topics that will be covered are:
- The classical NMR model: nucleus in a magnetic field
- Rotating reference frame & resonance
- Bloch equations
- Signal detection concepts
- Signal acquisition: FID and echo techniques
- Multi-dimensional Fourier imaging and k-space
- Fourier image reconstruction
- Signal, contrast and noise
- Basic sequence design
- MR Angiography and flow quantification
Literature/study material used
