Week 4 Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is probably the most influential and most felxible current means of imaging the human brain. It features a vast number of separable contrast mechanisms, and a near ideal combination of non-invasiveness, safety, resolution and metric accuracy. However, it is extraordinarily expensive and has limited temporal resolution, especially for functional studies == OUTLINE Required Readings
- MRI Slides
- These notes by Joseph Hornak are highly professional and complete coverage of MRI.
- eMRI is another excellent online MRI learning resource
- Erwin Hahn - Spin Echoes: Essential reading for the MRI community
above: Figure 1 from Hahn, 1950
