| additional remarks | This course is the first part of two lectures series, dealing with the physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging.The content of the first part focusses on the principles of magnetic resonance(MR) image formation. The lecture starts with addressing the question how an MR signal is generated, continues with the detection and manipulation of this signal and will finally cover the details how MR signals are processed into an image. Specifically, we will focus on:1. Introduction to MRI2. MR signal generationa. Magnetic momentsb. RF excitationc. Signal detection3. MR signal characteristicsa. Free induction decayb. Spin echoc. Gradient echo4. Spatial encoding of MR signalsa. Slice selectionb. Frequency and phase encodingc. k-space5. Relaxation and image contrasta. Saturation-recovery sequenceb. Inversion-recovery sequencec. Spin-echo sequence6. Image reconstructiona. Basics of image reconstructionb. Reconstruction from Fourier samples7. Image resolution and noisea. Resolution limitationsb. Image Noise8. Image artifactsa. Gibbs ringingb. Aliasingc. Chemical shift artifactd. Motion artifacts |
