Basics of the magnetic resonance phenomenon.
Magnetic Resonance is increasing its importance as a diagnostic mean. For an
effective and accurate MRI practice, new fundamental principles, which are at the
basis of this phenomenon, must be acquired. In this chapter an extremely
simplified overview of the physical basics of MRI is introduced, to help the
readers understand the principles underlying this complex technique. Basic
physics, T1 and T2 relaxation times, spin echo sequences, which can be acquired
with the now available units, and tissue characteristics are illustrated. For
those who are interested in a further and more detailed reading in this field, a
bibliography is also quoted
