M219 Winter 2016

Principles and Applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (M219) is a graduate-level course offered by Dr. Daniel Ennis in the Magnetic Resonance Research Labs at UCLA. The course material is made available here so as to benefit the MRI community as much as possible. Hundreds and hundreds of hours and late nights have been spent preparing this material. Please refer to our work  when you borrow it for your own purposes. 

Course Description – This course develops the basic mathematical and physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and introduces research and clinical applications. The course describes various MRI hardware components, nuclear magnetic resonance, the Bloch equations, analytic expressions for simple cases, image contrast mechanisms, spin and gradient echoes, signal localization, Fourier transform imaging methods, the structure of pulse sequences, image artifacts, and various research and clinical applications.
