Now in its second edition, this thoroughly illustrated volume is a
practical, problem-oriented 'how-to' guide to performing
and interpreting abdominal and pelvic MRI studies. "Practical
Guide to Abdominal and Pelvic MRI" provides the necessary
know-how for optimizing image quality and protocols and describes
specific techniques, including MR angiography, MR
cholangiopancreatography, MR urography, MRI of the gastrointestinal
tract, and obstetrical MRI. There is a section on interpretation
that describes MRI appearances of 101 abdominal and pelvic
abnormalities, presents differential diagnoses, and offers guidance
on interpreting preoperative MRI studies. Additional chapters show
normal MRI anatomy, answer frequently asked questions, and
demystify MRI acronyms and terminology. This edition includes new
imaging techniques and information on the liver, the kidney, and
nephrogenic syndrome
Description:This is a practical guide to learning the fundamentals of abdominal/pelvic MR imaging and interpretation. Purpose:The objective is to provide a book that bridges the gap between very detailed resource textbooks and more focused publications such as review articles. Audience:The more advanced trainees/residents and practicing radiologists are the intended audience. Features:This book details the important physics fundamentals of abdominal MR imaging and provides instruction in various "special" techniques such as angiography and urography. Helpful atlases of normal anatomy and selected abnormalities are included. A section of MR imaging acronyms is a welcome feature. Assessment:I found this to be an excellent resource. It fills a void in more traditional body MRI books by providing practical and helpful information on MRI physics and protocol optimization.
