Magnetic Resonance Engineering is an international journal devoted to the publication of original investigations concerned with the hardware and software of the engineering and physics aspects of magnetic resonance instrumentation. Articles concerned with both clinical and analytical systems are within the scope of the journal.
The need for a journal of this type stems from the fact that a large amount of important engineering research is being presented at meetings and not being published in journals. Many journals tend to consider such work unacceptable-it is typically perceived to be an unnecessary detail, and even engineering terminology is often unacceptable to their referees. Articles that are accepted are scattered over several publications. This journal is unique in the sense that it consolidates such articles, making them easily available to the community. It provides a cohesive focus for all those engaged in magnetic resonance engineering, and provides them with a proper forum for publishing their work.
Research articles in all areas of engineering, including hardware and related software, are considered appropriate for this journal. Some examples are the design of spectrometers and their components, including magnets, gradients, probes, coils, transceivers,
