This textbook presents and discusses several example unconventional reconstruction strategies to address the problems of unconventional signal acquisition, reconstruction under B0 inhomogeneity, reconstruction in the presence of in-plane motion, reconstruction from non-uniformly sampled k-space, reconstruction of activation maps in functional MRI (fMRI) under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions, and reconstruction of fiber tracks using multi-component modeling. The goal of this presentation is not only to show the utility of these example techniques, but also to provide ideas for further investigation in their respective areas and beyond that are not bound by the traditional approaches.

Gene expression is critical for tumor initiation and progression. However, we lack a comprehensive understanding of all genes that are aberrantly expressed in human cancer. Recently, microarrays have been used to obtain global views of human cancer gene expression and identify genetic markers that might be important for diagnosis and therapy. The initial sequencing of the human genome, coupled with technological advances, now make it possible to embrace the genetic complexity of common human cancers in global fashion. Tools are currently available, or are being developed, for the identification of all changes that take place in cancer at the DNA, RNA, and protein levels. In particular, the use of microarrays for the comprehensive analysis of RNA expression in human tumor samples holds much promise.
