Main description:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans play a vital role in diagnosis and monitoring of diseases across the body. However, MRI is a relatively slow imaging technology, resulting in long scan times. This is particularly challenging when imaging dynamic processes. Accelerated Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Methods and Applications explains the technologies which can speed up MRI imaging and shows how they have been applied to a broad range of application areas, presenting the challenges and giving practical advice on implementation. With this book the reader will be able to: Modify the MRI sequences to speed up acquisition of data (non-Cartesian trajectories and data under sampling); Use the techniques (parallel imaging, compressed sensing and machine learning) which are commonly used to reconstruct under sampled MRI data; Implement fast MRI imaging techniques for their application areas.

Accelerated Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Methods and Applications is an ideal resource for the technologist, clinical researcher and clinician who want to understand rapid MRI methods and gain practical advice on their implementation.
