MRI Contrast Agents: Mechanisms and Applications

Covers the generation of basic MRI contrasts and principles behind T₁-weighted MRI in medical imaging.

Explores MRI principles, contrast agents, neural activity imaging, and functional MRI techniques.

Introduces the fundamentals of spin relaxation in magnetic resonance, covering spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation, and rotational motion in liquids.

Gradient Echo Contrast T2*

Explores gradient echo contrast (T2*) in biomedical imaging, covering T2* weighting, contrast mechanisms in MRI, venography, BOLD fMRI, and spatial encoding techniques.

Overview and comparison: Imaging Modalities

Covers the comparison of bio-imaging modalities, discussing contrast mechanisms, limitations, SNR, and reconstruction techniques.
