Susceptibility Weighted Imaging in MRI – Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications

E. Mark Haacke and Juergen Reichenbach are two of the three originators and inventors of susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, which has come to be known more simply as susceptibility-weighted imaging, or SWI. Dr. Haacke is the lead editor of the highly successful and widely acclaimed reference and textbook Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Physical Principles and Sequence Design (Wiley, 1999), whose second edition will publish in 2008.
