About this book
"MRI in Clinical Practice" provides 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, the latest advanced methods (e.g. spectroscopy, fMRI, diffusion, high field MRI) are discussed and placed into the context of clinical application.
Written from both a Physics and Radiological point-of-view, the book has a wide multidisciplinary appeal and is specifically targeted at MRI practitioners or trainees, as well as post-graduate students, physicists, radiographers and radiologists.
Reviews
Radiology Review:
"MRI in Clinical Practice is a well-written concise overview of modern magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. ... The soft-cover text measures only 8 X 5 inches and could easily be placed in the pocket of a clinician's jacket. ... The text will find good use as a quick reference. ... The 10 individual chapters are well written, concise, and well organized. Each chapter is accompanied by an adequate number of high-quality figures and reference charts, along with selected 'Top Tips' (small summary boxes with relevant teaching points, often of a technical nature). Sample protocols are included in the chapters on individual body parts. Advanced applications and cutting-edge techniques are discussed where appropriate. ..." (Robert D.
