Abstract
This chapter is written as a practical approach to clinical magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. With most scanners available today, images can be generated without knowledge of the basic principles, mostly by pushing buttons and executing suggested imaging protocols. However, in the event there is the need to change an imaging protocol or use another type of sequence, it is very helpful to have a good understanding of the underlying basic principles. This knowledge might also be very helpful for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of an image or for the interpretation of potential artifacts.
