by MRI. A picture of a representative configuration of a conventional MRI machine
and an open MRI machine are shown in Figure 15.1.
This chapter first focuses on the principle physics of MRI and then discusses
the MRI technology. We also discuss the principle ideas as well as the applications of f MRI. The use of MRI for medical diagnostics will also be given in this
chapter.
