About this book
The first book to cover the groundbreaking development and clinical applications of Magnetic Resonance Elastography, this book is essential for all practitioners interested in this revolutionary diagnostic modality. The book is divided into three sections. The first covers the history of MRE. The second covers technique and clinical applications of MRE in the liver with respect to fibrosis, liver masses, and other diseases. Case descriptions are presented to give the reader a hands-on approach. The final section presents the techniques, sequence and preliminary results of applications in other areas of the body including muscle, brain, lung, heart, and breast.
Reviews
“Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) was first described in 1995 and since then has become widely used to investigate various organs as a research tool. In the last few years, the technique has entered the clinical arena and can be used instead of liver biopsy to assess hepatic fibrosis. … There is a strong emphasis on clinical applications throughout the book, particularly regarding liver disease. This makes the book of interest to clinical radiologists as well as those involved in research.” (Dr. Edmund Godfrey, RAD Magazine, September, 2015)
