In the past few decades, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has
become an indispensable tool in modern medicine, with MRI systems
now available at every major hospital in the developed world. But
for all its utility and prevalence, it is much less commonly
understood and less readily explained than other common medical
imaging techniques. Unlike optical, ultrasonic, X-ray (including
CT), and nuclear medicine-based imaging, MRI does not rely
primarily on simple transmission and/or reflection of energy, and
the highest achievable resolution in MRI is orders of magnitude
smaller that the smallest wavelength involved. In this book, MRI
will be explained with emphasis on the magnetic fields required,
their generation, their concomitant electric fields, the various
interactions of all these fields with the subject being imaged, and
the implications of these interactions to image quality and patient
safety. Classical electromagnetics will be used to describe aspects
from the fundamental phenomenon of nuclear precession through
signal detection and MRI safety. Simple explanations and
Illustrations combined with pertinent equations are designed to
help the reader rapidly gain a fundamental understanding and an
appreciation of this technology as it is used today, as well as
ongoing advances that will increase its value in the future.
Numerous references are included to facilitate further study with
an emphasis on areas most directly related to electromagnetics.
