The course will introduce the principles of magnetic resonance imaging from an engineering perspective . By the end of the course, the students are expected to have learned the Bloch equations, signal reception, demodulation and reconstruction aspects, k-space coverage strategies, methods of fast imaging, and MR angiography.
I am teaching a part of this course that deals with MR imaging. The students are introduced to MR imaging principles from a broad perspective, without getting much into the mathematical details of signal manipulation. However, the principles of different types of contrast generation are covered.
This is a course for the BME department's undergraduate students who are in their 3rd year of study (5th Semester). The course covers the basic concepts of linear time invariant systems properties and analysis tools like Fourier series, Fourier Transform, Laplace and Z-transforms (continuous time and discrete time forms where applicable). It also introduces FIR and IIR filters.
