Accelerated Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans play a vital role in diagnosis and monitoring of diseases across the body. However, MRI is a relatively slow imaging technology, resulting in long scan times. This is particularly challenging when imaging dynamic processes. Accelerated Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Methods and Applications explains the technologies which can speed up MRI imaging and shows how they have been applied to a broad range of application areas, presenting the challenges and giving practical advice on implementation. With this book the reader will be able to:  Modify the MRI sequences to speed up acquisition of data (non-Cartesian trajectories and data under sampling); Use the techniques (parallel imaging, compressed sensing and machine learning) which are commonly used to reconstruct under sampled MRI data; Implement fast MRI imaging techniques for their application areas. Accelerated Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Methods and Applications is an ideal resource for the technologist, clinical researcher and clinician who want to understand rapid MRI methods and gain practical advice on their implementation. Presents the underlying principles and methods for achieving fast MRI Gives insight into how fast imaging methods are applied in a broad range of application areas (cardiovascular imaging, speech and airway imaging, abdominal imaging, interventional imaging, fetal imaging) Practical guidance for implementation of the methods in the clinic and for research Presents the future directions of fast MRI
