Handbook of MRI Pulse Sequences

by Matt A. Bernstein, Kevin F. King, Xiaohong Joe Zhou

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is among the most important medical imaging techniques available today. There is an installed base of approximately 15,000 MRI scanners worldwide. Each of these scanners is capable of running many different "pulse sequences", which are governed by physics and engineering principles, and implemented by software programs that control the MRI hardware. To utilize an MRI scanner to the fullest extent, a conceptual understanding of its pulse sequences is crucial. Handbook of MRI Pulse Sequences offers a complete guide that can help the scientists, engineers, clinicians, and technologists in the field of MRI understand and better employ their scanner.

This is an absolutely necessary reference for anybody trying to understand or design MRI imaging sequences. I consult this book almost weekly. This is not a good primer for MRI, but it is very useful as a reference.
