Publisher's Synopsis
Due to recent advances in the technology of magnetic imaging, including MR angiography, MRI is quickly becoming an indespensible tool for the critical diagnosis of disorders of the chest. Improved image quality now enables the clinical radiologist to avail himself of the superior resolution power of MR, where once CT was the preferred imaging modality. This book will present over 400 high–quality MRI scans, assembled from Cornell′s archives of 45,000 images. Practical interpretation of normal and pathologic features will be presented in all three primary planes (axial, sagittal, coronal) and with all MR settings (T1 weighted, T2–weighted, proton density, etc). Detailed labeling and legends precisely orient the reader and thoroughly describe the significant features of the image.
