Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. An MRI scanner is a large tube that contains powerful magnets. A patient lies inside the tube during the scan (NHS Choices). Part of the Jaypee Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series, this book is a comprehensive guide to MRI. Beginning with an introduction to the history and physics of MRI, each of the following sections discusses imaging and diagnosis of diseases in different areas of the body. MRI images for each condition are preceded by text summarising the disease, ultrasound and CT findings and important MRI findings to help clinicians interpret and make accurate diagnoses. The final sections list MR terms and acronyms. Key points Part of the Jaypee Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series Comprehensive guide to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Presents MRI images with descriptive text for numerous diseases Includes lists of key MR terms and acronyms

Chest radiology is the most commonly-used investigation method for pulmonary diseases. Accurate interpretation by radiologists is essential, in order to diagnose and manage disorders effectively. This atlas is a concise guide to chest radiology for residents and clinicians. Beginning with an introduction to anatomy, the book presents state of the art chest X-Ray, CT, MRI and PET scan images for numerous medical conditions. The book offers a clear understanding of how to recognise and interpret basic radiological signs, pathologies and patterns for differential diagnosis. A photo CD ROM is included to enhance the numerous well-illustrated X-Rays, CT and MRI scans in the atlas, making it an invaluable, hands-on reference for the evaluation of chest images.
