The MRI ManualCompletely revised and expanded, this manual offers a thorough, economical and practical approach to the principles and clinical applications of MRI, it then proceeds to address application to anatomic areas or disease processes. While providing an introduction to this field for the resident, this manual also makes a handy reference for practising radiologists, clinicians who depend on imaging, medical physicists, neurologists and technologists. Includes more than 600 high-quality illustrations and MR scans to enhance descriptions of clinical aspects of MRI. Highlights the effects of MR physics and technology on imaging throughout -- a topic often left uncovered in most introductory MR texts. Describes normal MR appearances of organs at different pulse sequences for ease of comparison. Presents imaging strategies and protocols for each disease process, including recommended pulse sequences, use of surface coils, and MR contrast agents. 27077 Provides a comparative look at the diagnostic advantages and disadvantages of MR versus other modalities in similar situations. Offers complete coverage of MR technique and preparation, with special emphasis on the pediatric patient Discusses the role of MRI in staging tumors, assisting the reader with this often difficult process. |
