Echo-Planar Imaging Theory, Technique and Application

This book describes applications and techniques of the MRI method of echo-planar imaging. I contains detailed and precise accounts of image production, artifacts, and optimization methods. Applications are imaging of brain function, stroke and cerebral blood flow as well as cardiac and abdominal cli...
