Copyright Issues
During 30 years of radiology practice I have collected numerous cases, drawings, and illustrations relating to MR imaging and MR physics. Although most of these are of my own creation, a number of images, photographs, and graphic materials have come from colleagues in academics and industry. A number of these externally derived elements have been incorporated into this web site, and I have given full credit to these sources and/or obtained permission for their use when possible.
Unfortunately, the provenances surrounding some of these graphic elements collected over three decades have been lost or forgotten. It is not my intent to misuse anyone's copyrighted work, and I fully respect artist and content owner's rights. I pledge to fully comply with the Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 1998, investigating any alleged infringement notices by the owner and removing any verified item or link promptly. To make such a notice, please click here and provide details. Alternatively, I would sincerely appreciate your allowing continued use of these materials on the site if you simply tell me how they should be credited.
In addition to graphic elements, this web site also contains links and pdfs to a number of scientific papers of which the original authors and publishers may retain copyrights. Many of these works are already widely available on the internet from the authors' own web sites or institutional repositories. A substantial number of papers and images are distributed under open access and Creative Commons licenses. Some very old works are now in the public domain. Others I have personally purchased or received as reprint gifts from authors over the years. As you read these papers on my web site, consider yourself as a student guest sitting in my private library that I maintain for teaching purposes. I would ask all readers of this site not to copy, repost, or distribute these works lest they be taken down and not available for the higher good of science education.
This web site has been created as a public service to the greater scientific community. I receive no compensation or external support for this endeavor and have personally assumed all costs of producing and maintaining this site. So, if an item is discovered that has unintentionally infringed on someone else's work, I ask understanding and forgiveness and promise to quickly make things right.
On the flip side, all other images and text on this website are my own creation, so any commercial use of this material without my express written consent is prohibited. However, if you wish to use a small number of my images (in a non-commercial setting, such as for lectures, graduate theses, etc), feel free to do so, crediting them "Courtesy of Allen D. Elster, MRIquestions.com".
