Product Description
"In 1971 Dr. Paul C. Lauterbur pioneered spatial information encoding principles that made image formation possible by using magnetic resonance signals. Now Lauterbur, ""father of the MRI,"" and Dr. Zhi-Pei Liang have co-authored the first engineering textbook on magnetic resonance imaging. This long-awaited, definitive text will help undergraduate and graduate students of biomedical engineering, biomedical imaging scientists, radiologists, and electrical engineers gain an in-depth understanding of MRI principles. The authors use a signal processing approach to describe the fundamentals of magnetic resonance imaging. You will find a clear and rigorous discussion of these carefully selected essential topics:- Mathematical fundamentals
- Signal generation and detection principles
- Signal characteristics
- Signal localization principles
- Image reconstruction techniques
- Image contrast mechanisms
- Image resolution, noise, and artifacts
- Fast-scan imaging
- Constrained reconstruction.
Complete with a comprehensive set of examples and homework problems, PRINCIPLES OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING is the must-read book to improve your knowledge of this revolutionary technique. Professors: To request an examination copy simply e-mail collegeadoption@ieee.org." Sponsored by:

 A definitive text for the signal processing of MRI December 9, 2000
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Magnetic resonance has recently recieved many riches in the form of excellent, definitive texts that have bundled together the advances of the last 20 or so years. Drs. Liang and Lauterbur have added to this trove by writing a text that goes beyond the standard descriptions of magnetic resonance image formation and including many advanced techniques available today, some of which they originated. The ideal audience for this text includes scientists, engineers, and physicians actively developing MRI applications from the physics on up. Though containing many recent developments it contains a core of medical imaging information that will not be outdated. The mathematical depth is sufficient to serve as a reference of basic and sophisticated methods but with enough pedagogical information to tutor the interested student. Liang and Lauterbur should be on the shelf of any serious professional or insightful student.

A very well-written book. It includes step-by-step analysis which leads beginners to gradually understand the concepts and physics. It is very good for textbook as well as for self learning.
Great Textbook April 2, 2004

This is an excellent textbook. Easy to follow if you are comfortable with Electromagnetics already. Lot's of math and examples inside. Make sure u get this book first, if you study MRI.
Excellent coverage of MR physics, however complicated maths. May 21, 2000

The selection of the chapters and the overall coverage of this book are excellent. It provides an outstanding and detailed description of MR physics and of how MR signals are generated and processed. However, not being an engineer or a physicist but a MD interested in MRI, I had some problems with the mathematical background required to understand the formulas used in this book. I feel that the book would be greatly improved if a more detailed explanation to the mathematics were given. At this point, I would recommend this book to graduate students or Ph.D.'s in physics, in biomedical or in electrical engineering, who want to understand in detail the principles of MR signal generation and processing. Because of the somewhat complicated mathematics, the book might be somewhat less destined, but still of interest, to radiologists and MRI physicians who, like me, want to enhance their understanding of MR physics and signal processing.

First, a confusing omission on p118, eqn: 4.28.
The transverse component should be defined first as:
Mx'y' = Mx' + i My' = ...
This omission may be confusing when the previous chapter is not read before this one, as the definition of Mx'y' is not defined earlier in this chapter.
p.123 eqn: 4.43,
Mxy should be labeled Mx'y', Mx and My should be Mx' and My'
There should be an equals sign after defining Mx(w,(t1+t2)+) + iMy(w,(t1+t2)+)
