Download or read book Electromagnetics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging written by Christopher M. Collins and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few decades, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become an indispensable tool in modern medicine, with MRI systems now available at every major hospital in the developed world. But for all its utility and prevalence, it is much less commonly understood and less readily explained than other common medical imaging techniques. Unlike optical, ultrasonic, X-ray (including CT), and nuclear medicine-based imaging, MRI does not rely primarily on simple transmission and/or reflection of energy, and the highest achievable resolution in MRI is orders of magnitude smaller that the smallest wavelength involved. In this book, MRI will be explained with emphasis on the magnetic fields required, their generation, their concomitant electric fields, the various interactions of all these fields with the subject being imaged, and the implications of these interactions to image quality and patient safety. Classical electromagnetics will be used to describe aspects from the fundamental phenomenon of nuclear precession through signal detection and MRI safety. Simple explanations and Illustrations combined with pertinent equations are designed to help the reader rapidly gain a fundamental understanding and an appreciation of this technology as it is used today, as well as ongoing advances that will increase its value in the future. Numerous references are included to facilitate further study with an emphasis on areas most directly related to electromagnetics.

This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic Resonance Imaging“Magnetic Resonance Imaging” (MRI) is the most widely clinically used diagnostic tool for soft tissue imaging. This advanced technology and its applications are under continuous research and development, ranging from lower fields to ultra-high fields to the highest possible fields for preclinical (animal) and human imaging. Formerly known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMR), with the rising demands of clinical diagnosis requirements, it is under constant development and innovation in hospitals for populations around the world because of constant desire to go to higher fields that lead to unique research and clinical applications that aren’t achievable with other commercially and or research technologies. The basics of MRIThe human body is rich in hydrogen, when a human body is subjected to a large magnetic field, many of the free hydrogen nuclei align themselves with the direction of the magnetic field. MRI works on the principle of the directional magnetic field associated with charged particles in motion. MRI is also known as nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, a technique used to create images of parts of the human body based on the resonance of nuclei in motion under the effect of a magnetic field. Overview of the bookThis book’s lucid style makes it an easy read. It is written in a simple and comprehensible way, making it easy to followand readfor a large audience ranging from students to researchers. The areas covered include an overview of the theories and practical aspects of High-Field MRIwith each chapter Introduction, Challenges, Objectives, Methods(Materials), Results, Discussion, FutureWworks,including basic concepts, along with research-oriented and clinical concepts, technologies that are researched and developed, and implemented clinically, and published nationally and internationally recognized conferences, and publications with global awards recognition from ISMRM, TTS, and many other academic and industry organizationsthat are recognized worldwide. In this book, unexplored research theories are described along with a list of products, project developments, and completion of major and unattempted theories, which are considered to be challenging in high-field MRI. These unexplored research theories are further delved into to emerge with practical and translational products, as described in various chapters. These products are deemed to be of potential research and clinical use if implemented in clinical and hospital settings, to help thus could the patients as well as healthy populations to improve the standard of their lives. Advances in extremities and musculoskeletal imaging in patients undergoing transplants, including first-ever(never been implemented)technologies such as Ultra high field upper extremity RF coils, research publications, and intellectual properties have been explored in detail. Another major advancement discussed in this book is the Whole-body MRI RF high density transmit coil and receiver array designs(first evevr application of antenna design), published in national and international journals as intellectual properties.

Download or read book Basic Principles of Cardiovascular MRI written by Mushabbar A. Syed and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive and authoritative text on the expanding scope of CMR, dedicated to covering basic principles in detail focusing on the needs of cardiovascular imagers. The target audience for this book includes CMR specialists, trainees in CMR and cardiovascular medicine, cardiovascular physicists or clinical cardiovascular imagers. This book includes figures and CMR examples in the form of high-resolution still images and is divided in two sections: basic MRI physics, i.e. the nuts and bolts of MR imaging; and imaging techniques (pulse sequences) used in cardiovascular MR imaging. Each imaging technique is discussed in a separate chapter that includes the physics and clinical applications (with cardiovascular examples) of a particular technique. Evolving techniques or research based techniques are discussed as well. This section covers both cardiac and vascular imaging. ​Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is now considered a clinically important imaging modality for patients with a wide variety of cardiovascular diseases. Recent developments in scanner hardware, imaging sequences, and analysis software have led to 3-dimensional, high-resolution imaging of the cardiovascular system. These developments have also influenced a wide variety of cardiovascular imaging applications and it is now routinely used in clinical practice in CMR laboratories around the world. The non-invasiveness and lack of ionizing radiation exposure make CMR uniquely important for patients whose clinical condition requires serial imaging follow-up. This is particularly true for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) with or without surgical corrections who require lifelong clinical and imaging follow-up.

Download or read book RF Coils for MRI written by J. Thomas Vaughan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The content of this volume has been added to eMagRes (formerly Encyclopedia of Magnetic Resonance) - the ultimate online resource for NMR and MRI. To date there is no single reference aimed at teaching the art of applications guided coil design for use in MRI. This RF Coils for MRI handbook is intended to become this reference. Heretofore, much of the know-how of RF coil design is bottled up in various industry and academic laboratories around the world. Some of this information on coil technologies and applications techniques has been disseminated through the literature, while more of this knowledge has been withheld for competitive or proprietary advantage. Of the published works, the record of technology development is often incomplete and misleading, accurate referencing and attribution assignment being tantamount to admission of patent infringement in the commercial arena. Accordingly, the literature on RF coil design is fragmented and confusing. There are no texts and few courses offered to teach this material. Mastery of the art and science of RF coil design is perhaps best achieved through the learning that comes with a long career in the field at multiple places of employment...until now. RF Coils for MRI combines the lifetime understanding and expertise of many of the senior designers in the field into a single, practical training manual. It informs the engineer on part numbers and sources of component materials, equipment, engineering services and consulting to enable anyone with electronics bench experience to build, test and interface a coil. The handbook teaches the MR system user how to safely and successfully implement the coil for its intended application. The comprehensive articles also include information required by the scientist or physician to predict respective experiment or clinical performance of a coil for a variety of common applications. It is expected that RF Coils for MRI becomes an important resource for engineers, technicians, scientists, and physicians wanting to safely and successfully buy or build and use MR coils in the clinic or laboratory. Similarly, this guidebook provides teaching material for students, fellows and residents wanting to better understand the theory and operation of RF coils. Many of the articles have been written by the pioneers and developers of coils, arrays and probes, so this is all first hand information! The handbook serves as an expository guide for hands-on radiologists, radiographers, physicians, engineers, medical physicists, technologists, and for anyone with interests in building or selecting and using RF coils to achieve best clinical or experimental results. About EMR Handbooks / eMagRes Handbooks The Encyclopedia of Magnetic Resonance (up to 2012) and eMagRes (from 2013 onward) publish a wide range of online articles on all aspects of magnetic resonance in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. The existence of this large number of articles, written by experts in various fields, is enabling the publication of a series of EMR Handbooks / eMagRes Handbooks on specific areas of NMR and MRI. The chapters of each of these handbooks will comprise a carefully chosen selection of articles from eMagRes. In consultation with the eMagRes Editorial Board, the EMR Handbooks / eMagRes Handbooks are coherently planned in advance by specially-selected Editors, and new articles are written (together with updates of some already existing articles) to give appropriate complete coverage. The handbooks are intended to be of value and interest to research students, postdoctoral fellows and other researchers learning about the scientific area in question and undertaking relevant experiments, whether in academia or industry.
