    The main course book is

    • Robert W. Brown, Y.-C. Norman Cheng, E. Mark Haacke, Michael R. Thompson, Ramesh Venkatesan, "Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Physical Principles and Sequence Design", 2nd Edition, Wiley, 2014.

    which is available as an e-book via Aalto University library (https://ebookcentral-proquest-com.libproxy.aalto.fi/lib/aalto-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1676112). The following books are also useful on the course, but the exercises will be taken from Brown's book:

    • Zhi-Pei Liang, Paul C. Lauterbur, "Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Signal Processing Perspective", Wiley-IEEE, 1999
    • Donald W. McRobbie, Elizabeth A. Moore, Martin J. Graves, Martin R. Prince, "MRI from Picture to Proton", 2nd Edition, 2007

    The pointers to other materials will be provided on this page. The tentative list of weekly learning objectives is below (chapter, problem numbers and page references are to Brown's book). Contact sessions are meant for discussion about the current week's exercises. The exercises are returned on MyCourses in two batches: rounds 1-4 by 19.2. and rounds 5-8 by 16.4.

    Note that the electronic materials shown in the exercise session ("Brief Recap of Chapter X of Brown et al. (2014)") are also linked below – but – the exercise answers that are presented in the exercise sessions will not be uploaded here, because they are home works. If you want to see them, you need to attend the session.
