ECE 69500 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Note:
Several class assignments will be based on data collected from the Purdue MRI Facility (located at InnerVision West in the Purdue Research Park) during imaging sessions designed by the class as part of lecture or homework assignments. Examples of such assignments include, but are not limited to, proton spectroscopy of select tissues, optimization of imaging parameters for maximization of contrast between tissues, and basic functional MRI experimentation.
