This comprehensive book provides radiologists and imaging specialists with a valuable, state-of-the-art reference on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The text discusses the clinical benefits of diagnosing human pathologies using MRI. It explains the physical principles of MRI and how to use the technique correctly. It highlights each organ's anatomy and pathological processes with high-quality images. It examines the protocols and potentialities of advanced MRI scanners such as 7 T systems. It also includes extensive references at the end of each chapter to enhance further study.
