Prospects for the future: magnetic resonance fast scanning and flow quantitation.
High-speed scanning techniques are quickly emerging to provide new applications in the MRI domain. These potential applications range from the reduction of patient examination time to the functional imaging of human cognition. Additionally, flow quantitation is rapidly developing into a clinical diagnostic tool available for routine use. This article provides the concepts to acquire a rudimentary understanding of both topics.
