Overview

This volume briefly introduces the essence of the physics and function of magnetic resonance imaging. All the important and clinically relevant concepts, together with the underlying physics, are introduced in a comprehensible fashion. Consequently, the emphasis is on a clearly structured text. One chapter is dedicated to the increasing importance of MRI with regard to non-invasive diagnosis of the vascular system. The latest developments leading towards ever faster MR sequences are presented. This text addresses first and foremost medical doctors, medical laboratory assistants and technicians, and students who wish to become aquainted with the basics of MRI.

Reviews

From the reviews: Surgical and Radiological Anatomy Vol. 26, Issue 3, 2004: ..the authors describe in English in the plainest fashion, and within hardly more than 100 pages, the theroretical and technical bases of magnetic resonance imaging. ...the book should be warmly recommended to anyone after thry have become accustomed to MRI. In such circumstances this is a very comprehensive handbook, particularly useful as a reminder of the concepts of MRI.... a valuable technical handbook... This volume is the first translation into English of the German edition ??? . it is a text for those who wish to familiarize themselves with the workings of magnetic resonance imaging. ??? has a lucid yet not oversimplified text and extremely informative, high-quality images. The very useful glossary completes the book. ??? the book is easy to carry around in a bag or brief case, and you will soon find yourself reading it whenever you have time. An excellent publication!
