Summary

This new edition of the most accessible introduction to MRI principles and applications provides understandable yet comprehensive coverage including the latest developments in this fast paced field. It offers the only such concise overview of magnetic resonance physics, imaging techniques, hardware, and applications available. This Third Edition includes dozens of brand new images to support the text, as well as added discussions on 3D imaging, real time imaging, cardiac imaging, and parallel acquisition techniques. Clinical protocols have been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect current methodologies.

Author Biography

Whether the topic is measurement parameters, image contrast, or pulse sequences, authors Mark Brown and Richard Semelka have remained true to their original mission: to present the basic concepts of MRI in a way that is understandable to a range of readers. Building on that tradition, MRI: Basic Principles and Applications, Third Edition, gives you an up-to-the-minute look at the tools required to assess various imaging techniques–and how to best utilize them in the real world of clinical practice.
