Abstract
Synopsis: In this chapter the reader is introduced to the phenomenon of magnetic resonance, with its associated physical aspects (i.e., the magnetic moment, susceptibility, magnetization precession, etc.). The reader will then learn about principles of MRI pulse sequencing and signal generation, the gradient fields, and the methodologies implemented for image formation and for flow imaging and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
The learning outcomes are: The reader will understand how the different magnetic fields interact with the magnetic moments and how the hydrogen proton magnetization can be manipulated, will know how an MRI signal is generated, will comprehend the different mechanisms of contrast in MRI, will know how spatial mapping is achieved in MRI, and will be able to follow a basic pulse sequence.
