| Lectures: | 4:30-6:30 pm, Tues/Thurs, EECS 3427 |
| Course Description: |
Introduction to the physics, techniques and applications of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Basics of nuclear magnetic resonance physics, spectral analysis and Fourier transforms, techniques for spatial localization, MRI hardware. Applications of MRI including magnetic resonance properties of biological tissues and contrast agents, imaging of anatomy and function. |
| Prerequesites: | Integral calculus, trigonometry, physics (EM theory). Some exposure to Fourier transforms is useful, but not necessary |
