Handbook of MRI Pulse Sequences (ePub)

Matt Bernstein received his Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics in 1985 from the University of Wisconsin. From 1987-1998, he served first as Senior Software Designer and then later as Senior Physicist at GE Medical Systems, developing novel techniques for MR. He has been awarded 36 US patents over his career. Currently he is a board-certified Medical Physicist and researcher at Mayo Clinic, where he is a Full Professor in the Department of Radiology, with a joint appointment in the Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering. Recently the research group he leads developed a novel Compact 3T scanner in collaboration with GE Global Research, and he is currently serving as PI of a 5-year, NIH U01 grant for this program. Dr Bernstein was Editor-in-Chief of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine from 2011-2019, and chaired the International Society for Magnetic Resonance (ISMRM) Engineering Study Group. He is a Fellow of the ISMRM and AIMBE, and is a Distinguished Investigator of the Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research. He also served on the Board of Directors of the American Board of Medical Physics, the Board of Trustees of the ISMRM, as well as on several NIH Study Sections. Dr Bernstein has authored over 130 peer-reviewed papers, 250 conference abstracts, and co-authored the book Thinking about equations: A practical guide for developing mathematical intuition in the physical sciences and engineering. According to Google Scholar, his work has been cited approximately 15,000 times.

"...I believe it will become the 'gold standard' text for people involved in MR research or applications because of its clear and concise descriptions of most aspects of MRI."
--Michael Jacobs, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland in the JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (2006)

“…an outstanding reference source that covers all the important aspects of pulse sequence design and implementation. --G.H. Glover, Stanford University School of Medicine, CA, in NMR IN BIOMEDICINE (2005)

“Anyone conducting research that makes use of the current state of MRI techniques should have this book on the shelf. --MEDICAL PHYSICS (May 2005)


Excerpts from the forewords of this book:
“…This book is the most valiant and successful attempt yet to provide a useful description of this [pulse sequence] ‘zoo’, and to relate and classify the various denizens in it. … I believe that no MRI developer or user can read this book without learning more about the field, as I have.
--From the foreword by Paul C. Lauterbur, Ph.D., 2003 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, Professor of Chemistry, Biophysics, Bioengineering, and Medical Information Sciences, University of Illinois.

“…This book will become one of the classic texts in the field. It will play a key role in helping the next generation of scientists and MRI clinicians to continue the process of invention.
--From the foreword by Richard L. Ehman, M.D., Professor of Radiology, Mayo Clinic
