Abstract

The first edition of this introductory book was written when the author felt the need for a book on the complex subject of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), that will be in simple words and that will give knowledge and confidence for day-to-day working. And the book fulfilled the need of author. The second edition retains its easiness and the perspective for the beginners. Principles of MRI, sequences, interpretation principles and basic physics behind special applications of MRI such as diffusion, perfusion and spectroscopy are discussed in simple words. This edition has new additions on when and why to use a sequence in a particular situation, 3-Tesla MRI and some new techniques. It will enhance the confidence of the readers while monitoring the scans in console and during interpretations of images. This short book is enriched with more than 250 images and diagrams for easy understanding of the subject.
