Description: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques differ enormously nowadays from when it was first introduced back in the 1980's. Better resolution of details and extremely short acquisition times have changed the clinical position of MRI and have opened up new fields of application. It is still rapidly evolving in terms of research and clinical applications. This is particularly true for fast MRI body imaging.This book, which was originally published as a topic issue of "Fast Body MR Imaging" in the /locate/ejradEuropean Journal of Radiology, brings together a number of prominent authors. It begins with an overview of the fast MRI techniques. Then the current applications and limitations of fast MR imaging are discussed by organ system: heart, lung, kidneys, liver, pancreas and biliary system, and pelvis. Each chapter finishes with a brief paragraph on scope or future direction. (Product Description.
