This review is from: MRI of the Abdomen and Pelvis: A Text Atlas (Hardcover)

The most complete, and user-friendly abdominal MR book currently in print. Excellent images and well-written text. Covers nearly everything from the diaphragm to the pelvis. Highly recommended, both for residents/fellows and practicing radiologists. Includes protocols and a chapter on specific imaging stratagies for MR imaging of the abdomen and pelvis.
