Clinical MR imaging: a practical approach

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the leading cross-sectional imaging method in clinical practice. Continuous technical improvements have significantly broadened the scope of applications. At present, MR imaging is not onlythe most important diagnostic technique in neuroradiology and musculoskeletalradiology, but has also become an invaluable diagnostic tool for abdominal, pelvic, cardiac, breast and vascular imaging. This book offers practical guidelines for performing efficient and cost-effective MRI examinations in daily practice. The underlying idea is that, by adopting a practical protocol-based approach, the work-flow in a MRI unit can be streamlined and optimized. Thoroughly revised and updated edition including new techniques and new figures Practical, protocol-based approach that helps to streamline the workflow in any MR unit INDICE: Principles of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and magnetic resonance angiography.- Contrast agents for MR imaging.- Hemorrhage.- MR imaging of the brain.- MR imaging of the spine.- Head and neck.- Joints.- Bone and soft tissues.- Upper abdomen: liver, pancreas, biliary system, and spleen.- Kidneys and adrenal glands.- Pelvis.- Heart.- Large vessels and peripheral vessels.- Chest.- MR of the breast.- MR imaging of pediatric patients.- Interventional magnetic resonance.
