"MRI: Principles and Artifacts" is a resource for experienced MR users looking to build on their understanding of the techniques, technology, and capabilites of magnetic resonance imaging. Using the "Raven MRI Teaching File" format - 100 case studies illustrated with MR images - the book demonstrates the practical imaging options in MR and addresses the decision-making problems arising in the day-to-day use of MR. The case studies show how to put basic MR principles to work, how to choose among different imaging options, and how to determine and correct the causes of artifacts. Forty case studies show the MR user what imaging options are available and how imaging choices affect image quality. Many of these case studies deal with newer techniques such as fast spin echo, gradient echo, magnetization transfer, diffusion, STIR, and FLAIR imaging. Sixty case studies illustrate and explain common artifacts and imaging problems in MRI and magnetic resonance angiography.

More About the Author
R. Edward Hendrick, Ph.D., is Clinical Professor of Radiology at the University of Colorado - Denver, Anschutz School of Medicine. A board-certified diagnostic medical physicist, he was involved in the initial clinical application of magnetic resonance imaging, its application to breast imaging, and the development and evaluation of digital mammography. He helped establish the American College of Radiology Accreditation Programs in Mammography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Breast MRI, and Stereotactic Breast Biopsy. He also helped define American College of Radiology and FDA standards for mammography and mammography quality control, serving as a charter member of the FDA's Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee. He is the lead author of all four editions the American College of Radiology's Mammography Quality Control Manuals. He was principal investigator of the first trials obtaining FDA approval of digital mammography and was co-principal investigator of the NCI-sponsored ACRIN DMIST screening trial of digital mammography, which demonstrated that digital mammography is superior to film for younger women and women with denser breasts. His research focuses on new technologies to improve breast cancer detection and on improving the quality of existing breast imaging technologies.

This review is from: Mri: Principles and Artifacts (Raven Mri Teaching File) (Hardcover)
This book is still indispensable to anyone who wants to practice MRI. It is not really up-to-date since it dates to before the revolution caused by the clinical implementation of echo-planar scanners. It does however contain data and images that you will have difficulty finding elsewhere.
