Product Description

Bestseller at the 2004 RSNA meeting!

Winner of such prestigious radiology awards as:

Silver Medal, 2004 ARRS meeting Excellence in Design, 2003 RSNA meeting

Magnetic resonance imaging has proven to be the premier imaging technology of the last two decades, greatly exceeding CT and ultrasound in its soft tissue contrast. Yet, most radiologists who rely on MRI do not have knowledge of the fundamentals so essential to achieving and maintaining high image quality.

With a focus on clinical images rather than mathematical equations, this book takes a practical approach to MR physics that helps you to increase your diagnostic effectiveness. The text walks you through the basics of MRI using actual patient images, making it especially accessible to beginners. From MR safety and pulse sequences to contrast-enhanced MR angiography, spectroscopy, perfusion and diffusion, the book covers the topics that are most relevant in everyday practice.

Covering the key aspects of MR physics in straightforward terms and clear images, this reference will benefit all practitioners who need to increase their working knowledge and competence with MRI. It fills an important gap in the literature, and will also be valued by residents preparing for the diagnostic radiology boards.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This slim volume of just over 200 pages is packed with a wealth of information on clinical MRI. ..It is a guide to the technology of MR image generation based on a detailed examination of a comprehensive set of images. In the text, primacy is given to the image and any physics content is directed at the elucidation of the issues depicted in the images. The format of the book would appeal to those who like their information in bite-sized portions. Each topic is covered in roughly two pages - one for the text and one for images. The images are judiciously selected, of a high quality and are well annotated. If it is true that a picture is worth a thousand words then this book is a treasure trove and well worth the modest cost price. The method of presenation of the material is designed to produce a high impact and would be particularly suitable for revision studies and as an aid to teaching MR technology. It would also be an invaluable reference work at the MR console for image correlation purposes."--RAD Magazine<br><br>"The authors have done an excellent job, approaching their task by making full use of images and thus making the book ideal for those who are used to looking at images. This combination of text and images will be useful and very educational for radiologists (and even scientists!) who read MR studies. This is an educational book of the utmost relevance!"--European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
