Physical Principles of MRI
MRI utilizes the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei, particularly hydrogen atoms, to generate detailed images of the body. The book meticulously explains the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR),including:
- Magnetic Relaxation: The process by which excited atomic nuclei return to their equilibrium state, emitting radiofrequency (RF) signals.
- T1 Relaxation Time: The time it takes for excited nuclei to return to their original alignment along the magnetic field.
- T2 Relaxation Time: The time it takes for excited nuclei to lose their coherence and return to a random orientation.
- Magnetic Field Gradients: Spatial variations in the magnetic field strength that allow for precise localization of the RF signals.

Biological Principles of MRI
The book meticulously explores the biological basis of MRI contrast, shedding light on how different tissues generate distinct signals. Key concepts covered include:
- Proton Density: The number of hydrogen atoms present in a given tissue, influencing the overall signal intensity.
- T1 Relaxation Time: Tissues with higher T1 values, such as fat, appear brighter in MRI images.
- T2 Relaxation Time: Tissues with shorter T2 values, such as cerebrospinal fluid, appear darker in MRI images.
- Contrast Agents: Substances administered to enhance the visibility of specific tissues or structures.
