Lecture Notes

I have given several MR related courses over the years, mostly introductory MRI and NMR. Below you can find the lecture notes for these classes. You can use them and share them free of charge. If you want to use a figure or plot in a talk or presentation, feel free to do so as long as you attribute the source. However, these may not be used for any commercial purpose. 

Imaging the Brain using MRI: From Physics to Applications (Fall 2021)

Assignments

Assignments are due on a weekly basis. Although they will not be graded, you are expected to hand in 80% of the assignents prior to the final exam. You will need to show effort and, if something is unclear and you don't solve it for some reason, you will need to note what exactly is unclear in the exercise you hand in.

NMR Primer (Weizmann Institute, Fall 2015)

This was my second go at the NMR Primer course, and it differs substantially from the first go given a year earlier. I've opted to start out with the full quantum mechanical treatment of spins, which changed the flavor of the course quite a bit. My third iteration would probably be even more quantum mechanical. Some day ...

MRI: Physical Principles and Applications (Weizmann Institute, Spring 2014)

The second iteration of my MRI course is very different in style from the first, given 5 years earlier. The scope however remained similar. Some topics were expanded and presented in more detail.

MRI (Weizmann Institute, Spring 2009)

I gave an earlier version of my MRI course while still a postdoc at the Weizmann Institute. The course was delivered alongside Prof. Lucio Frydman, who gave some of the later talks. It's pretty different from my later course on MRI, and has a more informal vibe to it.
