Book description
Here is the first textbook to present a practical overview of the
basic principles and clinical applications for 3 tesla (3T) MR
imaging. Organized into sections according to anatomical location,
each case study is presented in a concise, two-page unit that enables
the reader to digest and review the material in small sections. The
author describes the situations that dictate the use of 3T and
explains the numerous clinical advantages of this field strength by
drawing comparisons to corresponding studies at 1. 5T.
Highlights:
-Case studies from leading international
experts covering the breadth of clinical MR
-Recommendations for
how to optimize image quality and how to interpret the clinical
findings
-Easy-to-follow descriptions of the strengths and
limitations of 3 T
-400 high-quality clinical images and
illustrations depicting key concepts
-Discussion of the various
pulse sequence approaches
Clinical 3T Magnetic Resonance is essential reading for all
radiologists, radiology residents, MR physicists, and MR technologists
seeking to master this emerging diagnostic tool.
"As well as being a how-to manual for 3T MR, this well-written
book also provides specific tools for overcoming common challenges with
3T. ..Stand-alone chapters are short, concise, and packed with relevant
information, making it easy to look up exactly what you need. As 3T MR
imaging moves forward, we need well-explained guidance to begin to use
this new technology in our own departments. Clinicial 3T Magnetic
Resonance is that resource and will be a welcome addition to any MR
imaging department library."--Radiologic Technology "Easy to
read...excellent examples of 3T MRI images...An excellent
reference...covering...[the] advantages [of MRI] as well as providing
recommendations on how to overcome its problems and
shortcomings."--Doody's Book Reviews John Sealy Distinguished
