Download or read book Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Technology written by Ching-nien Chen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear magnetic resonance is now widely used in hospitals and research laboratories worldwide for medical purposes. Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the first book to concentrate on how the instrumentation involved works rather than on the applications of the technique. In order to help the reader fully understand how an NMR imaging or spectroscopy system works the book takes an in-depth look at the principles behind the different components of the machine. Starting with a short history of the developments of nuclear magnetic resonance, the authors go on to describe all the different areas of instrumentation, such as the receiver and the magnet. A full explanation of the electronics and computer hardware and software appears for the first time in book form, completing this thorough view of an NMR system. Each chapter builds from a basic to a more sophisticated level of understanding and numerous illustrations help the reader to grasp the concepts. For the most part, mathematical descriptions appear at the ends of chapters, to place the emphasis of the book on the understanding of underlying principles. Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Imaging will be invaluable to all medical physicists, technicians, researchers and engineers working with NMR, containing as it does both theoretical and practical data to enable users to get the most out of their machines.
Download or read book X Nuclei Magnetic Resonance Imaging written by Guillaume Madelin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a prominent clinical imaging modality used to diagnose and study diseases in vivo. It is principally based on the detection of the nuclei of hydrogen atoms (the proton; symbol 1H) in water molecules in tissues. X-nuclei MRI (also called non-proton MRI) is based on the detection of the nuclei of other atoms (X-nuclei) in the body, such as sodium (23Na), phosphorus (31P), chlorine (35Cl), potassium (39K), deuterium (2H), oxygen (17O), lithium (7Li), and fluorine (19F) using modified software and hardware. X-nuclei MRI can provide fundamental, new metabolic information related to cellular energetic metabolism and ion homeostasis in tissues that cannot be assessed using standard hydrogen MRI. This book is an introduction to the techniques and biomedical applications of X-nuclei MRI. It describes the theoretical and experimental basis of X-nuclei MRI, the limitations of this technique, and its potential biomedical applications for the diagnosis and prognosis of many disorders or for quantitative monitoring of therapies in a wide range of diseases. The book is divided into four parts. Part I includes a general description of X-nuclei nuclear magnetic resonance physics and imaging. Part II deals with the MRI of endogenous nuclei such as 23Na, 31P, 35Cl, and 39K; Part III, the MRI of endogenous/exogenous nuclei such as 2H and 17O; and Part IV, the MRI of exogenous nuclei such as 7Li and 19F. The book is illustrated throughout with many representative figures and includes references and reading suggestions in each section. It is the first book to introduce X-nuclei MRI to researchers, clinicians, students, and general readers who are interested in the development of imaging methods for assessing new metabolic information in tissues in vivo in order to diagnose diseases, improve prognosis, or measure the efficiency of therapies in a timely and quantitative manner. It is an ideal starting point for a clinical or scientific research project in non-proton MRI techniques.

Then MRI applications are considered in the following five chapters. Both the theoretical and practical aspects of MRI are emphasized. The book ends with a discussion of instrumentation and the principles of signal detection in MRI. - Clear progression from fundamental physical principles of NMR to MRI and its applications - Extensive discussion of image acquisition and reconstruction of MRI - Discussion of different mechanisms of MR image contrast - Mathematical derivation of the signal-to-noise dependence on basic MR imaging parameters as well as field strength - In-depth consideration of artifacts in MR images - Comprehensive discussion of several techniques used for rapid MR imaging including rapid gradient-echo imaging, echo-planar imaging, fast spin-echo imaging and spiral imaging - Qualitative discussion combined with mathematical description of MR techniques for imaging flow
Download or read book NMR and Chemistry written by J.W. Akitt and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keeping mathematics to a minimum, this book introduces nuclear properties, nuclear screening, chemical shift, spin-spin coupling, and relaxation. It is one of the few books that provides the student with the physical background to NMR spectroscopy from the point of view of the whole of the periodic table rather than concentrating on the narrow applications of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Aids to structure determination, such as decoupling, the nuclear Overhauser effect, INEPT, DEPT, and special editing, and two dimensional NMR spectroscopy are discussed in detail with examples, including the complete assignment of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of D-amygdain. The authors examine the requirements of a modern spectrometer and the effects of pulses and discuss the effects of dynamic processes as a function of temperature or pressure on NMR spectra. The book concludes with chapters on some of the applications of NMR spectroscopy to medical and non-medical imaging techniques and solid state chemistry of both I = F1/2 and I > F1/2 nuclei. Examples and problems, mainly from the recent inorganic/organometallic chemistry literature support the text throughout. Brief answers to all the problems are provided in the text with full answers at the end of the book.

A modular analysis of NMR pulse sequence building blocks also provides a basis for understanding and developing novel pulse programs. This text not only covers topics from chemical shift assignment to protein structure refinement, as well as the analysis of protein dynamics and chemical kinetics, but also provides a practical guide to many aspects of modern spectrometer hardware, sample preparation, experimental set-up, and data processing. End of chapter exercises are included to emphasize important concepts. Fundamentals of Protein NMR Spectroscopy not only offer students a systematic, in-depth, understanding of modern NMR spectroscopy and its application to biomolecular systems, but will also be a useful reference for the experienced investigator.
