Description du livre
An easily accessible source of reference material to supplement existing texts, distilling a wide breadth of theoretical and practical information into a pocket-sized manual. The book covers the basic physics behind MRI, quality assurance, up-to-date safety guidelines and a useful gallery of image artefacts. Part of the book focuses on the specific areas of the body in which MRI is currently exploited, describing how MRI is performed in practice. As well as covering routine clinical techniques, it discusses the latest advanced methods (e.g. spectroscopy, fMRI, diffusion, high field MRI) and places them into the context of clinical application. 'Hints and Tips' throughout describe potential pitfalls, common mistakes and work-arounds. Written from both a physics and a radiological perspective, the book has a wide multidisciplinary appeal and is specifically targeted at MRI practitioners or trainees, such as post-graduate students, physicists, radiographers and radiologists.
