This book is a complete introduction to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), andis addressed to a wide audience. It is composed of two complementary parts, dealing with the physics and the clinical aspects of MRI.The theoretical background of MRI is presented in a clear, direct and succinct manner. Material not vital to routine clinical work is omitted or skimmed over.The second part is anovel approach to clinical MRI that stimulates the reader's thinking. The emphasis is on the mental steps that lead clinicians to a complete and meaningfuldiagnosis. Clear, direct and succint description of the Physics of Magnetic Resonance Description of the practical aspects of MR Imaging in a unique way, that has not been seen before INDICE: Resonance.- Electromagnetic Fields.- Macroscopic Magnetization.- Macroscopic Magnetization Revisited.- Excitation Phenomena.- T1 Relaxation (Longitudinal or Spin-Lattice).- Partial Saturation.- T2 Relaxation (Transverse orSpin-Spin).- Magnetic Substrates of T1 Relaxation.- Magnetic Substrates of T2Relaxation.- Free Induction Decay.- Spin Echo.- Composite T1/T2 Phenomena.- Inversion Recovery.- Image Formation-Fourier Transform-Gradients.- Gradient Echo Imaging.- Pulse Sequences.- Fast or Turbo Spin Echo Imaging.- Selective Fat Suppression.- Chemical Shift Imaging.- Magnetization Transfer Contrast.- Diffusion.- Artifacts.- Noise.- Imaging Time.- Resolution.- Contrast Agents.- BloodFlow.- MR Angiography.- Basics of MR Examinations and Interpretation.
