Principles of Neuroimaging B - 2015
Principles of Neuroimaging B, Winter, 2015 - Class Schedule and Syllabus
Week 1 - MRI and fMRI
Monday 1/5/15
- MRI II Speaker: Cohen
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
Suggested Further Reading
Wednesday 1/7/15
- fMRI and MotionSpeaker: Cohen
Week 2 - Artifacts, Image Quality, Diffusion
Monday 1/1215
- Artifacts Speaker: Cohen
Wednesday 1/14/15
- Diffusion Physics Speaker: Ben Ellingson
Required Readings Slides should be up soon.
- Ben Ellingson Diffusion Slides uploaded 3/14/14

- READING
- "An Introduction to Compressive Sampling" EJ Candes, MB Watkin, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, March, 2008 <-- Mark's favorite. This is a good overview of the field.
- "Sparse MRI: The Application of Compressed Sensing for Rapid MR Imaging" M. Lustig, D. Donoho, J.M. Pauly, Magn. Reson. Med 58:1182–1195, 2007 Lustig demonstrates each step in the process with examples using MRI.
- "Compressed Sensing", D. Donoho, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 52:1289, 2006 One of the more accessible formal discussions of CS
