Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Medicine and Biology

The aim of this book is to give a sound physical understanding of the theory and practice of NMR imaging, a field which has grown rapidly in recent years, to the point that clinical imaging systems have become commercially available worldwide and many techniques have evolved.

Since the first publication on the subject in 1973, the field of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging has grown rapidly. Clinical imaging systems have become commercially available and have been installed in upwards of 200 locations worldwide. Many different techniques have evolved during this rapid growth. This book aims to give the reader a sound physical understanding of the theory and practice of NMR imaging.
