The optimal use of magnetic resonance imaging poses a constant challenge
as the technology is continually and rapidly advancing. This leaves the
MR practitioner, beginner or experienced, in constant need of
up-to-date, easily read and well illustrated material presenting the
clinical constellation of pathologies as seen by an MRI scanner in such
an effective way.
MRI of the Whole Body sets out to educate trainee and experienced
radiologists, radiographers and clinicians regarding key sequences for
optimal imaging of common pathologies, with simple explanations on the
choice of a particular MR sequence. The authors present typical and
representative examples with relevant clinical and imaging features to
assist a better understanding of these commonly encountered conditions.
Every unit begins with a quick anatomy review, and each case is
described in a standardised format with a clinical background, key
sequences, imaging features, and practical hints as to close
differentials and ways to distinguish between them. A text of this
nature is essential for all MR practitioners whatever their background:
medical, technical or scientific.
Key features:
- First of its kind as no other book covers all body systems in one
volume with demonstration of all key imaging sequences in the commonly
diagnosed pathologies
- Up-to-date sequences described with reasons for choosing a particular
sequence for a particular case
- Simplified relevant MR anatomy preceding each unit
- Clear high resolution images with appropriate legends
- Practical hints and tips section included for each pathology - close
differentials and what to do next
Written in a simple, lucid format and accompanied by typical
illustrations to each case MRI of the Whole Body is an essential
guide to understanding the 'what's, 'why's and 'how's of applied MR. It
will be of particular value to trainee and practicing radiologists, as
well as MR radiographers and radiography students.
