The content of this volume has been added to "eMagRes" (formerly
"Encyclopedia of Magnetic Resonance)" - the ultimate online
resource for NMR and MRI. Up to now MRI could not be used
clinically for imaging fine structures of bones or muscles. Since
the late 1990s however, the scene has changed dramatically. In
particular, Graeme Bydder and his many collaborators have
demonstrated the possibility - and importance - of imaging
structures in the body that were previously regarded as being "MR
Invisible." The images obtained with a variety of these newly
developed methods exhibit complex contrast, resulting in a new
quality of images for a wide range of new applications.
This Handbook is designed to enable the radiology community to
begin their assessment of how best to exploit these new
capabilities. It is organised in four major sections - the first of
which, after an Introduction, deals with the basic science
underlying the rest of the contents of the Handbook. The second,
larger, section describes the techniques which are used in
recovering the short T2 and T2* data from which the images are
reconstructed. The third and fourth sections present a range of
applications of the methods described earlier. The third section
deals with pre-clinical uses and studies, while the final section
describes a range of clinical applications. It is this last section
that will surely have the biggest impact on the development in the
next few years as the huge promise of Short T2 and T2* Imaging will
be exploited to the benefit of patients.
In many instances, the authors of an article are the only
research group who have published on the topic they describe. This
demonstrates that this Handbook presents a range of methods and
applications with a huge potential for future developments.
About "EMR Handbooks / eMagRes Handbooks"
The "Encyclopedia of Magnetic Resonance "(up to 2012) and"
eMagRes "(from 2013 onward) publish a wide range of online articles
on all aspects of magnetic resonance in physics, chemistry, biology
and medicine. The existence of this large number of articles,
written by experts in various fields, is enabling the publication
of a series of "EMR Handbooks / eMagRes Handbooks" on specific
areas of NMR and MRI. The chapters of each of these handbooks will
comprise a carefully chosen selection of articles from "eMagRes."
In consultation with the "eMagRes" Editorial Board, the "EMR
Handbooks / eMagRes Handbooks" are coherently planned in advance by
specially-selected Editors, and new articles are written (together
with updates of some already existing articles) to give appropriate
complete coverage. The handbooks are intended to be of value and
interest to research students, postdoctoral fellows and other
researchers learning about the scientific area in question and
undertaking relevant experiments, whether in academia or
industry.
