This class aims to teach the basic principles of MRI.
Fundamentals of MRI including signal-to-noise ratio, resolution,
and contrast as dictated by physics, pulse sequences, and instrumentation.
Image reconstruction via 2D FFT methods. Fast imaging reconstruction via
convolution-back projection and gridding methods and FFTs. Hardware for
modern MRI scanners including main field, gradient fields, RF coils, and
shim supplies. Software for MRI including imaging methods such as 2D FT,
RARE, SSFP, spiral and echo planar imaging methods. Fundamental tradeoffs
of tailoring hardware and pulse sequences to specific applications.
The modern MRI toolbox will be introduced, including selecting a slice or
volume, fast imaging methods to avoid image artifacts due to physiologic
motion, and methods for functional imaging. The fundamentals of MRI image
artifacts (motion, magnetic susceptibility variations, RF field variations)
will also be covered. The last part of the class will present emerging
research opportunities and concomitant engineering research challenges
including high-field MRI, hyperpolarization methods, small animal MRI,
cardiac MRI, stem-cell tracking, functional MRI, parallel imaging and
compressed-sensing MRI.

Course outline:
A list of the topics that will be covered is given here, in the order that they will be covered. This may change based on class interest, and time.
Grading:
Weekly assignments consisting of problem sets and potentially some matlab programming. (20%)
Two minterms (yes min, not mid), one in the middle (30%) and one at the end (30%) of the semester.
Final project (20%)
No late hw, makeup midterms etc. without prior concent from the instructor.
Homework Instruction
We will use a paperless submission system. Please submit your homework using the DROPBOX in BSPACE in PDF format. I strongly recommend using Latex for formatting, but you can use anything you wish. A Latex template can be downloded from here. The document should include your answers to the questions, matlab code and plots as required.
Please use the standard file name which is: Firstname_Lastname_hwxx_sol.pdf. for example: Miki_Lustig_hw01_sol.pdf.
Labs:
Dry Matlab asignments, almost weekly.
Lab 1: Wet MRI experiments with an high field 7T NMR system
Lab 2: Wet MRI experiments at the Brain Imaging Center's 3T scanner
