About the Book

Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging provides a contemporary introduction to the fundamental concepts of MRI, applies these concepts in biomedical applications, and relates these concepts to the latest MRI developments. A unified approach based on spin phase factor averaging is supplied to connect microscopic molecular processes with macroscopic MRI contrasts: relaxation, transport and magnetism. Graphic illustrations of Bloch Equation solutions and various biophysical processes are presented for visualizing abstract ideas. Simplified calculations and specific examples are given for precise appreciation of fundamental concepts. Insightful interpretations and clinical examples are furnished for exemplifying biomedical information in MRI. This book contains three parts: I. Section the body into voxels. Part I describes the Fourier encoding matrix for imaging, its realization in magnetic resonance (MR) using gradient fields, and k-space sampling.II. What's in a voxel? Part II examines the effects of biophysical processes on MRI voxel signal. Spin phase factor averaging over the observation time and voxel space is provided as a unified biophysical model for explaining major MRI contrasts: Proton-proton interaction in a short range defined by local cellular contents (relaxation) causes T2 signal decay and T1 energy loss.Proton motion (transport) including diffusion, perfusion, flow and biomechanical motion can be measured as a phase contrast or signal decay using a gradient field.Electron-proton interaction (magnetism: nonlocal effects of magnetic susceptibility and local effects of chemical shift) can be quantitatively analyzed from MRI signal phase.The connection of MRI contrast physics to tissue molecular contents is conceptualized in the following three terms: 1) cellularity for T2 weighted imaging and diffusion weighted imaging (the latter emphasizing cellular geometry), 2) vascularity for T1 weighted imaging with Gadolinium injection, MR perfusion, and MR angiography, and 3) biomolecularity for MR spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility imaging.III. How to operate an MRI machine? Part III describes MRI safety issues, hardware, software including advanced imaging methods, MRI scanning, and routine MRI protocols.As examples of applying basic physics concepts, this MRI book further illustrates the latest technological innovations, including: B_(1+)and B_(1-) mapping; Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST); Electric property tomography (EPT); Magnetic particle imaging (MPI); MR elastography (MRE); Moving spin tagging including ASL, SPAMM and DENSE; Navigator motion compensation; Parallel or accelerated imaging including SENSE, GRAPPA, compressed sensing and other Bayesian approaches; Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM)
About the Author: Professor Yi Wang is the Faculty Distinguished Professor of Radiology, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, and co-Director of the MRI facility at Cornell University. He is a Fellow of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), ISMRM (International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine), and AIMBE (American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering). He has been elected to the Council of Distinguished Investigators of the Academy of Radiology Research. He has served as a scientific reviewer of grant applications for many agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), European Research Council, Research Grants Council of Hong Kong, Swiss National Science Foundation, and the Wellcome Trust of the United Kingdom. As a Principal Investigator, Professor Wang has been awarded many NIH grants for MRI-related research and education and has published more than 220 peer-reviewed journal papers. Professor Wang's research interest has been in developing MRI technology for clinical applications using tools from computer science, electronic engineering, mathematics, and physics and using knowledge in biology, chemistry, life science and medicine. He has made significant contributions to MRI development including: 1) navigator motion compensation for cardiac MRI that has become widely adapted in cardiac MRI community, 2) time resolved imaging of transport processes, including MR digital subtraction angiography that has become a major method for MRA and vector field perfusion, 3) multi-station stepping-table platform with local coils for fast imaging of large FOV that has become a standard feature of modern MRI system, such as the platform for Siemens' TIM MRI product, and 4) recently, the Bayesian approach to the field source inverse problem for quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) of tissue magnetism (including iron, calcification and myelin). QSM has become a very active field with a wide range of applications including neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, oxygen consumption, hemorrhage, iron chelation, osteoporosis, atherosclerotic plaque, and theranostics. Professor Wang is currently working on QSM and other novel MRI techniques and their translations to clinical applications in the brain, heart, liver and prostate.
