From signal-based to comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging.

ABSTRACT: We present and evaluate a new insight into magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is based on the algebraic description of the magnetization during the transient response-including intrinsic magnetic resonance parameters such as longitudinal and transverse relaxation times (T₁, T₂) and proton density (PD) and experimental conditions such as radiofrequency field (B₁) and constant/homogeneous magnetic field (B₀) from associated scanners. We exploit the correspondence among three different elements: the signal evolution as a result of a repetitive sequence of blocks of radiofrequency excitation pulses and encoding gradients, the continuous Bloch equations and the mathematical description of a sequence as a linear system. This approach simultaneously p
