Main description:

Filling a gap between theoretical publications that treat MRI as a part of NMR methods, and a range of titles in medical MRI that only cover the particular problems encountered in imaging of the human body, this easy-to-read textbook presents MRI in a way that can be used for teaching and self-studying on both a graduate and postgraduate level. No knowledge of quantum mechanics is required, and only essential mathematical formalisms are discussed. In addition, many useful examples from various scientific fields help students to understand the basics as well as the wealth of applications involved, backed by problems and solutions on different levels, a troubleshooting section, and a special discussion of hardware components.
