This lavishly illustrated book uses high-quality images to present a practical guide to the physics of magnetic resonance. Written by internationally renowned authors, the book places an emphasis on learning visually through images of real cases rather than through mathematical equations and provides the fundamental information needed to achieve the best images in everyday clinical practice. This edition features new images and incorporates information on the latest technical advances in the field, discussing such important topics as 3 T MR, specific absorption rate (SAR), arterial spin labeling, continuous moving-table MR, and time-resolved contrast-enhanced MR angiography
400 high-quality images and illustrations demonstrate key concepts
