A Novel Approach to Spectral MRI
Tiffany A. Fetzner
Acknowledgment
My advisor Joe Hornak is acknowledged,
for suggesting this research, overseeing this research, and allowing the
use of an MR image of his own brain in this study. It is not every
professor who lets their students have their brain on file, Thanks Joe.
I thank Roger Easton, for
taking the time to clarify my understanding of digital image processing,
and the questions that arose in that area, during this research. Thanks
for allowing the use of your course notes in this research, and your SIGNALS
program for modeling different digital image processing techniques.
A special acknowledgment goes to one individual,
who saw me through all the joys and frustrations of this research, while
helping me stay focused on the present. Thank you Loren, for always believing
in me and reminding me that the journey to a goal, is one step at a time.
