Constrained image reconstruction and spin tagging techniques for functional MR imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) holds enormous potential for exploring the functional centers of a living brain in vivo. Among the MRI techniques a number of different approaches have provided initial success. The focus of this work is on applications of constrained image processing techniques for accelerated data acquisition in many different areas of MRI that have the promise to be useful in dynamic functional studies. In addition, some new variations of spin tagging techniques have been developed that might be useful in the future to study small micromotions in vivo such as microcirculation in capillaries.
