Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Handbook of MRI Technique (Paperback)

I just would like to mention about the possibility in prepare a new edition. This one was published in 1999. The technology is fast and growing every day with new procedures and new tools. I think will be helpful if a new edition could be edited, including the newest studies with a 3 Tesla machine.

This book is great and I do recommend for everyone who works in the MRI field.
