Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) have become increasingly useful in medicine in the last five years. This is the first book to offer the medical profession essential information on MRI and MRS that is neither oversimplified nor incomprehensible. Begins with a comprehensive, readable and non-mathematical introduction to the underlying principles of magnetic resonance. Chapters then present the theory and principles of both MRI and MRS and cover the interpretation of MR images, the clinical applications and scope of MRI and MRS, and practical aspects of spectroscopy and magnetic resonance. The practical problems associated with the siting, safety and operation of large MRI and MRS equipment are also discussed.
