Every day MRI is gaining more and more appreciation by all me die
al specialists for its impressive quality of anatomical images.
This morphological information gives consistent help in terms of
earlier diagnosis, lesion characterisation, and definition of the
extent of disease. However, morphology is not the only infor mation
obtained through MRI. Recently, a large number of researchers have
exploited the possibility of also obtaining functional information
with MRI. Results of brain activation studies have been initially
performed in Boston and have been confirmed by investiga tors all
over the world. Important functional data can be obtained not only
on the brain, but also on the heart and on parenchymal organs. The
diffusion nowadays of commercial MR units used with high field
gradient and echo planar techniques allows functional data to be
obtained in any routine clinical activity. This book appears at the
right time to provide information on fMRI to all MR users wanting
to obtain clinical experience with this new too1. We thank the
authors of each paper for their efforts and for the outstanding
contribution both to the seminar and on these pages. We are
especially grateful to BRACCO INTERNATIONAL, who generous ly
supported the publication of this Syllabus and the European Seminar
on Di agnostic and Interventional Radiology (ESDIR), held in Rome
on October 26- 28,1995. We hope that this editorial work will be
valid as a reference collection of pa pers on this new field of
medicine.
