Publisher's Synopsis
At present a large number of different imaging modalities compete with each other, and parallel use of such diagnostic techniques is costly and can be harmful to the patient.;This book places these modalities in their appropriate position within diagnostic pathways, and outlines the recommendations for magnetic resonance which were first presented at the EMRF/WHO conference "The Impact of MRI upon the Health System" in Switzerland, 1993. Professor Rinck's evaluation offers a better understanding of MR imaging, its potential future utilization, as well as its place in the health system on a European scale.
