Dr. Michael Lipton is the Principal Investigator of The Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In his own words:
"While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is my central tool, I define brain imaging broadly, to include all methods that facilitate accurate depiction of brain structure and function as well as their interface.
As a neuroradiologist, I advocate looking beyond the visual percept in making an assessment of diagnostic images, using quantitative approaches to maximize diagnostic yield, improve accuracy and minimize risk, including the risk of misdiagnosis.
These approaches are developed and validated in the laboratory, then applied in clinical research populations and, ultimately, real patients." [source]
On Einstein's website, they have the video lectures for Dr. Lipton's course on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They are also available as a Youtube playlist posted on Einstein's channel. There are currently 58 video lectures.
Reading the comments, you'd understand that even though apparently you'd find this very unappealing, as I thought at first, Dr. Lipton has a knack for catching one's attention about a subject matter that's very complex and hard to grasp.
I don't know, maybe it's only just me and the other attendees who are captivated...
But, just watch the first video lecture and it's likely you wont deny the clarity of Dr. Lipton's explanations, the frankness in his voice, as well as the depth of physics and biology he goes into and conveys in relatively plain language. Come on, check it out, and tell me what you think.
Start with the first lecture below which deals with signal intensity, contrast resolution, and spatial resolution.
