EMRF is the European Forum for MR in research and clinical practice.

It is the oldest interdisciplinary institution in Europe devoted to medical and biological magnetic resonance, bridging the gap between the exact sciences and medicine.

EMRF is part of
The Round Table Foundation.

oTextbooks 

TEACHING WEBSITE

THE STANDARD MR TEXTBOOK NOW ON THE WEB

EMRF will start a new website based on its popular textbook: An Introduction to Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. The web-version has been rewritten in such a way that newcomers to the field will be provided with the concepts, explanations, and illustrations necessary to master the basics of magnetic resonance in medicine – applicable to all kinds of clinical equipment. It will be the major MR electronic teaching domain on the internet and includes a chapter on the history of MR imaging.

The beta-version will be open and free of charge. At a later point, the site will become subscription only. The website will be completed in late spring 2012 and the 30th anniversary of the first version of the manual.

The beta-version has been uploaded at www.magnetic-resonance.org.

  
oAnniversaryForty Years of Magnetic Resonance Imaging

September 2011 sees the 40th anniversary of the invention of magnetic resonance imaging.

On 2 September 1971, Paul Lauterbur of the State University of New York at Stony Brook wrote down and had certified the idea of applying magnetic field gradients in all three dimensions to create NMR images. In his laboratory notebook he described the idea of magnetic resonance imaging as "Spatially Resolved Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Experiments."

He published the first pictures and a more detailed explanation of the new technology in Nature in March 1973.

RINCKSIDE

TWENTY YEARS OF MEDICAL IMAGING (AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE): COLUMNS NOW ON THE WEB

The "Rinckside" columns are now available on the internet. All colums since 1991 can be read or re-read. The site also contains the latest columns on Aunt Minnie Europe - "Maverinck".

The columns were written by Peter A. Rinck and do not necessarily represent the opinion of EMRF/TRTF.
