Two all-new chapters are also included, one discussing MRI in pregnancy, and another on MRI of the Breast.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Changes have been incorporated into the 20 contributed chapters (numerous 3T images are included). The text as a whole continues to emphasize "short duration imaging studies that combine comprehensive information and consistent image quality" and "multiple examples of disease processes both rare and common, so that the reader has guidance on the appearances of virtually all diseases processes in the abdomen, pelvis, chest and breast, to compare their own cases against" - (from the preface). Presentation is in two volumes." (SciTech Book News, December 2010)

From the Author

New techniques and contrast agents are described and a correlation is made with current pathology literature. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Abdominal-Pelvic MRI (Hardcover)

Para radiologistas/residentes que trabalham ou querem trabalhar com ressonancia de abdome e pelve, o livro apesar de grande e pesado tem no texto basicamente o essencial, e é o composto na maior parte de muitas fotos de qualidade, o que faz render a leitura e agregar conhecimentos que refletem diretamente na pratica do dia a dia.
