Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a rapidly evolving technique
which is having a significant impact on medical imaging. Only a few
years ago, al though Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was well
known as an important analytical technique in the field of chemical
analysis, it was effectively un known in medical circles. Following
the initial work of PAUL LAUTERBUR and RAYMOND DAMADIAN in the
early 1970s demonstrating that it was possible to use NMR to
produce im ages, progress in the medical fields was relatively
slow. Recently, however, with the availability of commercial
systems, progress has been very rapid, with increasing acceptance
of MRI as a basic imaging technique, and the develop ment of
exciting new applications. MRI is a relatively complex technique.
First, the image depends on many more intrinsic and extrinsic
parameters than it does of in techniques like X-ra diography and
computed tomography, and secondly, the intrinsic parameters such as
T1 and T2 are conceptually complex, involving ideas not usually de
scribed in traditional medical imaging courses. In order to produce
good MR images efficiently, and to obtain the maximum information
from them, it is necessary to appreciate, if not to fully
understand, these parameters. Further more, knowledge of how the
image is produced helps in appreciating the ori gin of the
artifacts sometimes found in MRI due to effects like patient motion
and fluid flow."
