Description

Here's a systematic presentation of the clinical applications of magnetic resonance imaging with a strong clinical orientation. Covers technique, instrumentation, and contrast agents. Describes MRI of the neck, brain, heart, spine, TMJ and orbit, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and the joints. Also includes a high field atlas of the central nervous system.
