Clinical 3T Magnetic Resonance

Here is the first textbook to present a practical overview of the basic principles and clinical applications for 3 tesla (3 T) 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 3 T and explains the numerous clinical advantages of this field strength by drawing comparisons to corresponding studies at 1.5 T. 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.
