Abstract

Since its inception in 1973, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a powerful diagnostic tool which is now routinely used in clinical medicine. Contrary to other non-invasive imaging techniques such as X-ray computed tomography and positron emission tomography, MRI does not use harmful ionizing radiation. Also, MRI offers much better soft-tissue contrast. MRI possesses many contrast generating mechanisms which are sensitive to various tissue parameters and ultimately provide information-rich images.
