Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an integral component of medical imaging. Whilst new measurement techniques and applications continue to be developed nearly thirty years after the initial clinical scanners were installed the basic principles behind the measurement techniques remain as true today as then. This fifth edition of MRI Basic Principles and Applications presents the fundamental concepts of MRI in a clear and concise manner, minimizing the mathematical formalism yet providing a foundation to understand the results that are obtained with today's clinical scanners. This book: * Accessible introductory guide from renowned teachers in the field * Provides a concise yet thorough introduction for MRI focusing on fundamental physics, pulse sequences, and clinical applications without presenting advanced math * Takes a practical approach, including up-to-date protocols, and supports technical concepts with thorough explanations and illustrations * Highlights sections that are directly relevant to radiology board exams * Presents new information on the latest scan techniques and applications including 3 Tesla whole body scanners, safety issues, and the nephrotoxic effects of gadolinium-based contrast media This is an ideal resource to help radiologists prepare for their exams and understand the underlying MR physics principles as efficiently as possible.
