The technique that is used in radiology to form pictures of the physiological processes and the anatomy of the body is known as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Magnetic field gradients, radio waves and strong magnetic fields are used in it to generate images of the organs in the body. Magnetic resonance imaging is different from CT scan and PET scan and does not involve X-rays and the use of ionizing radiation. In hospitals and clinics, magnetic resonance imaging is primarily used for staging of disease, medical diagnosis, and follow-up without getting body exposed to radiation. MRI is widely used in cardiovascular imaging, spinal imaging, neuroimaging, angiography, etc. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of magnetic resonance imaging. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. This book aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.
