Synopsis

Magnetic resonance imaging provides superior soft tissue contrast and the ability to image in multiple planes without exposing patients to ionizing radiation. MRI is well established for the workup of diseases of the central nervous system and is now becoming a primary tool for studying musculoskeletal, gynaecologic, prostatic, and hepatic disease. This is a reference for both radiologists and technologists, and the basic format of the 2nd edition remains unchanged: intense mathematical formalism has been minimized and the practial aspects of MR technology as it is used in the late-1990s are stressed. The second edition has been fully updated and improved to include techniques such as MR angiograpy: echo-planar, or "fast," MRI; MR spectroscopy and diffusion imaging. It features: expanded coverage of the number and range of clinical applications; and material on artifacts, contrast agents, and clinical protocols.

About this title

From the Back Cover

MRI Basic Principles and Applications Second Edition Mark A. Brown, PhD and Richard C. Semelka, MD This updated edition provides a bridge between the theory of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its implementation in commercial scanners. As with its popular predecessor, MRI: Basic Principles and Applications, Second Edition integrates a clear discussion of the basic physics of MRI, including resonance absorption, relaxation, and pulse sequences, with an overview of the guiding principles of its clinical application (such as motion artifact reduction and fat suppression techniques). With over 80 images and numerous line drawings illustrating and clarifying key concepts and applications, MRI: Basic Principles and Applications, Second Edition remains an essential introductory text for radiologists, technologists, and radiology residents. From reviews of the First Edition "This book is well written and presents difficult concepts in an understandable fashion. It makes it easy for those with science backgrounds to understand clinical MR applications and for clinicians to understand the basics of MR physics." --Radiation Research Related Titles Clinical MR Spectroscopy: First Principles Nouha Salibi, PhD and Mark A. Brown, PhD Acquaints readers with the basic concepts of MR spectroscopy and provides guidelines for its clinical use PACS: Basic Principles and Applications H. K. Huang, DSc Integrates a comprehensive introduction to the imaging modalities and technical fundamentals of "filmless radiology" with guidelines for designing and implementing a PACS system
