Download or read book The Physics of Clinical MR Taught Through Images written by Val M. Runge and published by Thieme. This book was released on 2005 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this textbook is to teach, through images, a practical approach to magnetic resonance (MR) physics and image quality. Unlike prior texts covering this topic, the focus is on clinical images rather than equations. A practical approach to MR physics is developed through images, emphasizing knowledge of fundamentals which is important in achieving high image quality. The text is organized into concise chapters, each discussing an important point relevant to clinical MR and illustrated with images from routine patient exams. The topics covered encompass the breadth of this field, from imaging basics and pulse sequences to advanced topics including contrast-enhanced MR angiography, spectroscopy, perfusion and diffusion. Discussion of the latest hardware and software innovations, such as multichannel-phased array coil technology and parallel imaging, is included as these topics are critical to current and future advances.
Download or read book Essentials of Clinical MRI written by Theo H.M. Falke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am particularly pleased to be able to write the introduction to this book that resulted from a collaborative effort by the Radiology De partment, under the auspices of the Boerhaave Committee for Postgraduate Medical Education of the Faculty of Medicine, at the University of Leiden and the Department of Medical Imaging and Radiological Sciences at Van derbilt University. Magnetic resonance imaging affords the opportunity to interrogate organ and system structure and function in a nondestructive manner without se rious biological implications. Tissue contrast with this modality is ex quisite and inherently superior to that of x-ray computed tomography. The advances to improve signal capture, development of rapid data acquisition techniques, fabrication of more appropriate pulse sequences, and availa bility of contrast agents portend increased versatility and specificity of these studies. Despite the proliferation of numerous general and specialized texts, the developments in MRI occur at such a pace that data in these references are necessarily dated. The technical horizon of MRI is vast with almost li mitless possibilities of signal generation and plan reconstruction. Tissue contrast is so importantly affected by the coupling of signal generation and capture that collective experience of institutions and investigators is extremely important to the initiate and useful even to those indivi duals with the greatest clinical experience.

Download or read book Clinical MR Imaging written by Paul M. Parizel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has become the leading cross-sectional imaging method in clinical practice. Since the 1980s, continuous improvements in hardware and software have significantly broadened the scope of applications. At present, MR imaging is not only the most important technique in neuroradiology and osteoarticular radiology, but has also become an invaluable diagnostic tool for abdominal, pelvic, cardiac, breast and vascular system imaging. Due to ongoing technical developments, the complexity of MR imaging has increased markedly. This often represents an obstacle not only to beginners (who find it difficult to get started), but also to more experienced users (who find it hard to keep up). Information about MR imaging can be found in many excellent textbooks and reference works, several of which have become encyclopedic in scope and sheer volume. As editors and authors of this book, we have endeavored to use a different approach. As a starting point, we have taken into consideration that routine diagnostic questions account for more than 90% of examinations. This implies that by adopting a practical protocol-based approach the workflow in an MR unit can be streamlined, so important in today's economic environment. We have aimed to provide the reader with such information, based on our combined experience. This book offers practical guidelines for performing efficient and cost-effective MR imaging examinations in daily practice. As editors, we hope that this work will lead to a better practical understanding of MR imaging and that new sequences and protocols will contribute to solving clinical problems. As such, we believe this book will help beginners to advance their starting point in implementing the protocols and will aid more experienced users in updating their knowledge.
