PREFACE

The four chapters that make up this volume are all in the general area of imag-
ing and image processing. We begin with an account of magnetic resonance
imaging, which older readers will think of as nuclear magnetic resonance
imaging, and of the related technique of magnetization transfer imaging. In
this, J. C. McGowan Þrst describes in detail the physics of the magnetic res-
onance imaging process and then goes on to discuss the recently developed
technique of magnetization transfer imaging. The purpose of this is to obtain
information about the interactions between water protons, which are visible
using magnetic resonance imaging, and the protons of larger molecules that are
of physiological interest. Among the applications areas are multiple sclerosis
and other diffuse brain disorders. The chapter can be read at several levels
since it contains all the technical details that will interest the specialist and, in
parallel, a very readable commentary that can be appreciated by those from
other Þelds.
Next comes a very welcome account of the highly original work of
D. Paganin and K. A. Nugent on phase determination by noninterferometric
methods. My attention was caught by their paper in Phys. Rev. Letters in 1998,
in which their ideas on phase determination were Þrst sketched and I am de-
lighted that they have agreed to write this full account, which puts the problem
in context, explains clearly the basis of their approach, and contains much new
material. A particularly interesting feature of this work is the role occupied by
generalized radiance and the associated problems of radiometry for partially
coherent radiation (cf. L. Mandel and E. Wolf, Optical Coherence and Quan-
tum Optics, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge 1995). Both theory and
practice are examined here and this account of these subtle ideas should render
them much more accessible.
Scanning probe microscopy is still a young subject and is in rapid growth,
with continuing new developments in instrumentation and experimental tech-
niques. The chapter by E. Oesterschulze Þrst discusses developments in atomic
force microscopy and then turns to near-Þeld optics. The Þrst part covers essen-
tially the technological aspects of these microscopes; the section on near-Þeld
microscopy opens with a succinct but very clear account of far-Þeld optics,
so that we can appreciate the difference between this and the newer near-Þeld
instruments. Passive probes are then examined after which E. Oesterschulze
introduces us to light-emitting and light-detecting active probes. Altogether a
very full account of present preoccupations in this area.

x PREFACE

The Þnal chapter, by I. R. Terol-Villalobos, is a new addition to the numer-


ous articles published here on aspects of mathematical morphology. Here, the
theme is selective enhancement and segmentation based on a type of gradient
Þlters, in which the gradient is the difference between the image and the same
image after erosion or dilation. After a brief introduction, in which the toggle
mappings are examined, the morphological slope Þlters are deÞned and ana-
lyzed at length. This long contribution forms a short monograph on this branch
of mathematical morphology.
I am most grateful to all the contributors to this volume for the care that they
have brought to their manuscripts and conclude with a list of surveys planned
for the next few volumes.

I. Introduction

Nearly 30 years ago, Paul LauterburÕs suggestion that nuclear magnetic reso-
nance might be used for creating images in humans (Lauterbur, 1973) set in
motion rapid change in diagnostic radiology. Development of magnetic reso-
nance imaging (MRI) technology proceeded at a phenomenal rate, and today
MRI has supplanted ionizing radiographic techniques in many diagnostic ap-
plications. For detailed noninvasive examination of soft tissues there is very
little alternative to MRI. There also exist new applications, including cerebral
functional MRI and imaging of water diffusion, that could not have been imag-
ined in the context of plain radiographs and ultrasound examinations. Magnetic
resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is also Þnding use in the clinic. Long estab-
lished as a technique for chemical analysis, it provides a number of advantages
in probing the biochemical basis for physiological processes. Combined exam-
inations including MRI and MRS can offer synergistic advantages in certain
disease evaluations.
Current research in MRI includes an emphasis on reÞning and enhancing
techniques that are still relatively young by comparison with other radiolog-
ical modalities. Additionally, there is a great deal of interest in establishing
novel forms of MRI contrast, reßecting characteristics of biological tissue that
are not probed by standard diagnostic MRI. There is also increased empha-
sis on the use of MRI-obtained information in a quantitative vice qualitative
sense. It must be understood that this could be seen to conßict with the tra-
ditional interpretation of radiological data as practiced by radiologists. The
training of a radiologist is founded upon developing the ability to form an
ÒimpressionÓof a study and to evaluate that impression in light of experience
with previously reviewed cases, patient outcomes, and ancillary information
provided by other tests and consulting physicians. The impression primarily
takes into account the apparent contrast developed between different tissues by
MRI AND MAGNETIZATION TRANSFER 3

the imaging modality, but must also include factors such as image quality and
the presence of artifact and confounding appearance. Expert practitioners of
radiology synthesize this information instantly and can gain valuable insight
from a seemingly ambiguous study with a skill that must be classiÞed as both
art and science. Although there is ongoing research aimed at modeling these
thought processes and creating artiÞcial intelligence algorithms, replacement
of radiologists with computers is not contemplated in the near term. On the con-
trary, the objective of quantitative image analysis, and particularly quantita-
tive MRI analysis, is to provide the radiologist with additional information
that cannot be obtained via evaluation of apparent contrast. This additional
information might include an intrinsic comparison with a norm as well as
the ampliÞcation of Þne differences that may not be visually detected on the
image.
Diagnostic MRI is primarily based upon the magnetic resonance properties
of ubiquitous (in living tissue) water protons, including analysis of the em-
pirical time constants T1 and T2 that were Þrst proposed by Bloch (1946), in
parallel with the work of Purcell et al. (1946), later recognized with the shared
Nobel prize. Typically in clinical application images are obtained that reßect
(but do not measure) the time constants. More recent quantitative techniques
are used to explore mechanisms affecting the magnetic resonance properties
of a tissue that may represent an underlying phenomenon relevant to a physio-
logical question. An example of such a technique is the subject of the present
work.
In this paper we will undertake a brief review of the fundamentals of mag-
netic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging in order to motivate a discus-
sion of a technique aimed at probing interactions between MRI-visible water
protons and protons of larger molecules of physiologic interest. The underlying
assumption for this technique is that a magnetization state may be transferred
between such protons, and thus it is referred to as magnetization transfer (MT).
Contrast obtained via this mechanism is called magnetization transfer contrast
(MTC) and imaging that reßects MTC is known as magnetization transfer
imaging (MTI). Applications of MTI will be discussed in brain, together with
analysis techniques being developed to exploit the MT phenomenon. We note
that although the fundamental phenomena of magnetic resonance are described
by quantum mechanics, the observations that are essential to the arguments
presented herein can be explained with classical arguments, and for the pur-
pose of application to medical imaging and diagnosis this is nearly always
