This review is from: Clinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Hardcover)

Quite simply this is the best textbook on MRI available. The first edition was the first successful attempt to summarize knowledge and applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. While the two-book set loks impressive, it is a delight to read. Indeed Dr Edelman's talent for being clear even on difficult subjects is apparent. While it is a multi-author text, he has managed to edit the chapters exellently. Additionall to an in-depth coverage of physics, he has managed to demonstrat the clinical applications of MRI very well as well as keeping the book up-to-date with newer techniques such as diffusion and perfusion MRI. Now it is starting to be slightly dated so we hope a new edition should appear soon.
