Book Description

All the clinical applications of whole-body MRI-together in one essential reference for the first time

Superbly illustrated, and written by leading experts who helped establish MRI as a diagnostic tool, this clinically relevant resource puts whole-body MRI into perspective like no other text. The first section covers the technical requirements of whole-body MRI, along with its principles and associated data processing. Subsequent sections offer a practical look at all aspects of whole-body MRI from a clinical perspective-including its use in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease and in metastasis screening.

* Richly illustrated presentation of the clinical areas of cardiovascular investigation and musculoskeletal diseases
