Description: This course is the first part of an extensive course series about the most versatile medical imaging modality, MRI, and magnetic resonance in general. In the course we are going to discuss what magnetic resonance is and how it works in real life from magnets and coils through spins and tissue parameters to RF pulses and processing tools. The topics aim to give a broad and detailed overview about the principles of both theoretical and practical magnetic resonance as well as cover the vast majority of the RF pulse types and techniques used today. While some math, engineering or science background is definitely beneficial none of these are essential. The course is designed to start from the very basics and gradually reach a level of understanding which can readily be used in practice and extended with self-teaching later on.The course is structured as follows:Introduction - This introductory lecture gives a brief overview about the entirety of magnetic resonance from the physical phenomenon to the signal detection.Signal & Contrast types - MRI is the most versatile medical imaging tool in terms of achievable contrast types and tissue information. This lecture discusses some of the most important ones of these as well as the principles of MR signal generationRelaxation parameters and simple sequences - Here we discuss relaxation in details including how to measure the relaxation time constants and we introduce the pulse acquire and the spin echo pulse sequences and the most often used contrast weightingsDetection and spectra - This session covers the physical principles of signal detection by means of RF coils as well as the main processing of MR, the Fourier-transform. Then we discuss the properties of the resulted complex spectraSteady-state sequences - The fastest and highest SNR yielding sequences are the steady-state sequences. This session
