Written by leading experts in the field, this book will help the clinician to understand the clinical problems and to select the methodological and technical options that will ensure prompt and effective response and correct interpretation of the clinical findings. This book is richly illustrated and will serve as unique source of information for radiologists and other specialists including neuroradiologists, surgeons, cardiologists, angiologists and gastroenteologists.

Wie funktioniert MRI? - Genau so

Physik und Funktionsweise der Magnetresonanztomographie sind komplex und fur den Nicht-Physiker nur schwierig nachzuvollziehen. Dennoch muss jeder, der diese Technik in der Praxis erfolgreich anwenden mochte, ihre Grundlagen verstehen.

In diesem Buch wird das erforderliche physikalische und technische Basiswissen pragnant und bestechend anschaulich erklart. Dieses Konzept war bereits in 6 Auflagen ausserordentlich erfolgreich und wird in der Neuauflage fortgefuhrt.

Samtliche Kapitel wurden aktualisiert. Dem immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnenden Thema "Diffusionsbildgebung" wird durch ein neues Kapitel Rechnung getragen. Ein ausfuhrliches Glossar dient dem schnellen Nachschlagen und Lernen von Fachbegriffen.

Das Buch ist ein Muss fur alle Arzte, MTRAs und Studenten, die sich mit den Grundlagen der MRT vertraut machen wollen."

A succinct introduction to the physics and function of magnetic resonance imaging with an emphasis on practical information. This thoroughly revised second edition is clearly structured. The underlying physical principles of the MR experiment are described and the basic pulse sequences commonly used in clinical MRI. It progresses to more advanced techniques such as parallel imaging and cardiovascular MR imaging. An extensive glossary offers rapid access to MRI terminology and will help those seeking to understand this interesting fascinating subject.

There have been remarkable achievements in CT technology, workflow management and applications in the last couple of years. The introduction of 4- and 16-row multidetector technology has substantially increased acquisition speed and provides nearly isotropic resolution. These new technical possibilities had significant impact on the clinical use of CT and have yielded a broadening of the spectrum of applications, particularly in vascular, cardiac, abdominal, and trauma imaging.

This book presents the practical experience of an international expert group of radiologists and physicists with state-of-the-art multidetector technology. The chapters in this book will facilitate a thorough understanding of 4- and 16-slice multidetector-row CT and its clinical applications. This will help to fully exploit the diagnostic potential of this technology.
