This book is designed to introduce the reader to the field of
NMR/MRI at very low magnetic fields, from milli-Tesla to
micro-Tesla, the ultra-low field (ULF) regime. The book is focused
on applications to imaging the human brain, and hardware methods
primarily based upon pre-polarization methods and SQUID-based
detection. The goal of the text is to provide insight and tools for
the reader to better understand what applications are best served
by ULF NMR/MRI approaches. A discussion of the hardware challenges,
such as shielding, operation of SQUID sensors in a dynamic field
environment, and pulsed magnetic field generation are presented.
One goal of the text is to provide the reader a framework of
understanding the approaches to estimation and mitigation of low
signal-to-noise and long imaging time, which are the main
challenges. Special attention is paid to the combination of MEG and
ULF MRI, and the benefits and challenges presented by trying to
accomplish both with the same hardware. The book discusses the
origin of unique relaxation contrast at ULF, and special
considerations for image artifacts and how to correct them (i.e.
concomitant gradients, ghost artifacts). A general discussion of
MRI, with special consideration to the challenges of imaging at ULF
and unique opportunities in pulse sequences, is presented. The book
also presents an overview of some of the primary applications of
ULF NMR/MRI being pursued.
