This review covers the fundamental principles of Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging and its advanced techniques. It details various MR imaging methods and contrast principles, including functional MR imaging (fMRI).

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biophysics
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has become a crucial clinical diagnostic tool due to rapid technological advancements.
  • Understanding the fundamental principles of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and MR imaging is essential for its application.
  • Various MR imaging techniques have been developed, each with unique technical underpinnings and applications.

Purpose of the Study:
