Course Description
Magnetic resonance imaging, as a non-invasive diagnostic modality, has become an important and powerful tool for biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. Knowledge of MR systems, basic principles, and design of MR hardware is essential to use this tool and help to develop more efficient MR methods. This course offers an introduction to the fundamental aspects of MRI systems and related hardware, covering magnets, gradient coils, shimming coils and RF coils. Each topic will include lectures and review of relevant literature.
