The hardware development in Magnetic Resonance Imaging technology seems to have slowed down. We now have equipment that is reaching maturity, or at least slowing down in terms of major breakthroughs. Note that this is the case in hardware. In software it is an entirely different picture. The basic analog signals that are comming out of the MRI sensors may have slowed down in terms of change, but the development of ever more powerful software has not. If anything, the rate of change in the software area has increased rather than decreased.

Consequently books like this one that portend to give an overview of the newest developments have to be written like this one. To keep up with the current trends, this book has each chapter written by a specialist in the particular field covered by that specialist. To anyone working in the area of MR imaging, this book defines the state of the art as it exists today and points the direction that current research is taking the field.

This is not a book for beginners, but for the advanced reader it is indispensible.
