<DIV><P><I>The Physics of Clinical MR Taught Through Images</I> accomplishes the goal of teaching MR physics in a concise and easily comprehensible approach. Dr. Runge and his coauthors achieve this with high-quality images, clear explanations, and understandable diagrams. This text is an excellent addition to the library of any resident or radiologist as a quick reference guide or for a comprehensive yet concise explanation of MR physics. <I><B>American Journal of Roentgenology</B> </I><p>This updated edition of <I>The Physics of Clinical MR Taught Through Images</I> has been thoroughly rewritten and includes key information on how to apply an understanding of physics to improve diagnostic images. It teaches a practical approach to MR physics using images and emphasizes knowledge of the fundamentals that are important to achieving and maintaining high image quality using the readers MR equipment.</p>Key Features:<P></P><ul><li>Includes discussion of the latest hardware and software innovations in MR, such as advanced parallel RF transmission, MR-PET, and interventional MR<li>Covers new imaging strategies critical to current and future advances, including compressed sensing and cartilage mapping, multi-shot EPI, and quantitative parametric mapping in the heart<li>Cases presented use images from actual patient exams<li>More than 600 high-quality clinical images illustrate concepts presented in the text</li></ul><p>Radiologists, physicists, residents, and MR technologists will find this new edition to be a very useful reference that will help them quickly understand techniques and concepts in clinical MR that are taught visually through images.</p></div>
