Abstract:
The technique of functional magnetic resonance imaging is rapidly moving from one of technical interest to wide clinical application. However, there are a number of questions regarding the method that need resolution. Some of these are investigated in this thesis. High resolutionf MRI is demonstrated at 3.0 T, using an interleaved echo planar imaging technique to keep image distortion low. The optimum echo time to use in fMRI experiments is investigated using a multiple gradient echo sequence to obtain six images, each with a different echo time, from a single free induction decay.

Abstract:
Imaging speed is very important in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially in dynamic cardiac applications, which involve respiratory motion and heart motion. With the introduction of reduced-data MR imaging methods, increasing acquisition speed has become possible without requiring a higher gradient system. But these reduced-data imaging methods carry a price for higher imaging speed. This may be a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) penalty, reduced resolution, or a combination of both. Many methods sacrifice edge information in favor of SNR gain, which is not preferable for applications which

Abstract:
In magnetic resonance (MR) imaging it is usually assumed that the acquired data represent samples of the Fourier transform of the object. However, there are many cases where this assumption is violated due to system imperfections, subject motion and deliberate undersampling in an effort to reduce scan times. This can lead to artefacts in the reconstructed images. In this thesis two emerging clinical applications of MRI are considered: hybrid PET-MR imaging and coronary MR angiography (CMRA). Factors giving rise to substantial deviations from the basic Fourier model in these cases are described

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging is a novel contrast mechanism in magnetic resonance imaging. CEST allows for the indirect detection of chemical groups that contain exchangeable protons. The contrast from endogenous CEST agents in the human brain is sensitive to changes in pH and protein structures. Therefore, CEST imaging offers a potential tool for the non-invasive detection of pathologies such as stroke and cancer. However, clinical implementation of current CEST MRI sequences is hindered by a lack of contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) per unit time. Furthermore, confounding
