Over the past ten years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has rapidly progressed from a purely anatomical imaging technique to one that reports on a wide variety of tissue functions. While most of these techniques have been developed for clinical problems or animal models, it is clear that they will be useful for studying engineered tissues both in vitro and in vivo. The goal of this presentation is to introduce the wide range of anatomical and functional information that can be assessed with magnetic resonance imaging.
