Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides a broad and practical introduction to fast and ultrafast MRI including pulse sequences, clinical applications, and imaging protocols that will contribute to promulgating this new technology in routine clinical practice. Specialists from all over the world reflect on and present the latest advances in MRI in clinics and also in experimental clinical settings. New modes of generating tissue contrast are now available and more than 330 b/w and colour figures of high quality document the enormous progress which has been made. New techniques in the field of MR angiography are described as ECG-triggered inversion recovery and Turbo spin-echo images of the heart. No doubt both the specialist and the interested clinician will come to value the tremendous new possibilities offered by these techniques.
