"MRI Essentials for Innovative Technologies describes novel methods to improve MRI beyond its current limitations and combines rigorous development of mathematical concepts with descriptive presentations of the emerging MRI techniques. Although this book covers a specialized area of MRI and the emerging technologies around this imaging modality, the text is comprehensible to most readers." IEEE Pulse Magazine, April 2014
"The deep physical insight into the relationship between spin dynamics and gradient field modulation expressed in this book paves the way to a completely new family of pulse sequences that may represent a new line of development for MRI. As a whole, this excellent book should be found on the bookshelves of all those specializing in the field of magnetic resonance." From the Foreword by Antonello Sotgiu, Professor and Chairman, Department of Health Sciences, University of L'Aquila, Italy
"[ This book] is complete, readable and usable both for research and for specialized learning purposes in areas of advanced MRI imaging techniques. Dr. Placidi indicates a path useful to both physicists and engineers for implementation, and to radiologists and clinicians in thinking of possible new ways to apply the suggested methods." From the Foreword by Roberto Passariello, MD, Professor and Chairman, Department of Radiological Sciences, Policlinico Umberto I, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
