Handbook of MRI Pulse Sequences, Second Edition includes 92 self-contained sections, with each section focusing on a single subject. A new section on detailing the advanced pulse sequence techniques covers a variety of basic and advanced image reconstruction methods. The extensive topic coverage and cross-referencing makes this book ideal for beginners learning the building blocks of MRI pulse sequence design, as well as for experienced professionals who are seeking deeper knowledge of a particular technique. This book is among the most important medical imaging techniques available today.…mehr
Handbook of MRI Pulse Sequences, Second Edition includes 92 self-contained sections, with each section focusing on a single subject. A new section on detailing the advanced pulse sequence techniques covers a variety of basic and advanced image reconstruction methods. The extensive topic coverage and cross-referencing makes this book ideal for beginners learning the building blocks of MRI pulse sequence design, as well as for experienced professionals who are seeking deeper knowledge of a particular technique. This book is among the most important medical imaging techniques available today. Each of these scanners is capable of running many different "pulse sequences." These sequences are governed by physics and engineering principles and implemented by software programs that control the MRI hardware.
Xiaohong Joe Zhou is a Professor of Radiology, Bioengineering, and Neurosurgery at The University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago and Chief Medical Physicist at the University of Illinois Hospital. He received his B.Sc. degree in physical chemistry from Peking University in China (1984), and Ph.D. degree in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1991). Following postdoctoral training in radiology at Duke University and a brief stay on the faculty of University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Zhou joined the Applied Science Laboratory of General Electric Medical System where he made contributions to fast imaging and diffusion MRI. In 1998, he was recruited to The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center as an Assistant Professor and a clinical medical physicist. Since relocating to University of Illinois at Chicago in 2003, Dr. Zhou has been conducting MRI research in the areas of diffusion imaging, cancer imaging, neuroimaging, and pulse sequence development. He is a board-certified medical physicist, a Fellow of ISMRM, a Fellow of AIMBE, and a recipient of Distinguished Investigator Award by the Academy for Radiology and Biomedical Imaging Research.
