Description and Table of Contents
Description
"Clinical Magnetic Resonance Angiography" provides radiologists with a fundamental review of acquisition mechanics and hardware considerations plus ready-to-use techniques for real-world applications. Stressing that the greatest diagnostic yield results from an interactive approach, "Clinical Magnetic Resonance Angiography" demonstrates how preliminary images can be augmented by additional sequences in order to clarify unexpected or equivocal findings. Suggested alternative sequences - as well as guidelines for strategically varying acquisition parameters - are presented, enabling the radiologist to tailor studies to the specific patient...the particular site of interest...and the pathologic entity or entities in question. "Clinical Magnetic Resonance Angiography" also identifies the common diagnostic pitfalls associated with MRA - because no modality is 100% specific or 100% sensitive - and offers clinic-tested strategies for anticipating and avoiding them. Also of special note: Featured throughout the book are comparative analyses of the diagnostic utility of MRA, conventional angiograhy, and ultrasonography in a variety of clinical settings.
For both the radiologist in practice and the radiologist in training, "Clinical Magnetic Resonance Angiography" offers a private tutorial in the fundamental principles and practice of MRA in the diagnostic workup of frequently encountered vascular disorders.
