Fundamentals of Body MRI E-Book

Christopher G. Roth

Description

Fundamentals of Body MRI—a new title in the Fundamentals of Radiology series—explains and defines key concepts in body MRI so you can confidently make radiologic diagnoses. Dr. Christopher G. Roth presents comprehensive guidance on body imaging—from the liver to the female pelvis—and discusses how physics, techniques, hardware, and artifacts affect results. This detailed and heavily illustrated reference will help you effectively master the complexities of interpreting findings from this imaging modality.

• Master MRI techniques for the entirety of body imaging, including liver, breast, male and female pelvis, and cardiovascular MRI.
• Avoid artifacts thanks to extensive discussions of considerations such as physics and parameter tradeoffs.
• Grasp visual nuances through numerous images and correlating anatomic illustrations.

Preface

I wrote this book rebelling against a number of trends in medical literature—a tendency to write exclusively in the passive tense, a predilection for the encyclopedic method, a distaste for visual aids (e.g., diagrams, tables), and an aversion to the basic science behind the scenes of our clinical practice. Some of these trends are easier to avoid than others. Tackling the science of body MRI and composing a basic introduction to MRI physics was de#nitely the most di$cult. Once you pull at the thread, there is no end to the unraveling; in MRI physics, each of the many abstract concepts are predicated on multiple others, inviting an endless series of interconnected explanations, and I feel like an inhabitant in the M. C. Escher lithograph, “Relativity” (depicting a network of impossibly interconnected staircases constructed in di+erent dimensions). I sacri#ced comprehensiveness in this regard for a concise, common sense approach to MRI physics and introductory concepts inChapter 1with the liberal use of visual aids and sparing use of abstract concepts and equations. In the clinical chapters (Chapters 2 to5), I resisted the encyclopedic style in favor of a reader-oriented approach, where possible. Most of the text is arranged by the imaging appearance, which is more in sync with the reader’s perspective than the encyclopedic style of organizing by disease entity. This format more closely mirrors the reader’s experience at the workstation, providing a useful reference for a problematic case or imaging pattern and facilitating di+erential diagnoses. Hopefully, abstention from the passive tense further enhances the readability of this text. In writing a “fundamentals” text, my goal was to provide a stepping stone to a comfort level with body MRI—both technically and clinically. My intent was to provide in-depth useful information and commentary on the bread-and-butter material accounting for most of what is seen in clinical practice, deferring on the more advanced applications and exotic diseases. Adv anced body MRI applications, such as prostate, breast, and cardiovascular MRI, were consciously 1-9 excluded. For these topics, I refer you to many worthy texts and review articles. This book has been long overdue—as one of the most complex #elds in radiology, body MRI needs a “fundamentals” text. It’s my hope that this book fulfills this need and it was my honor and privilege to write it.
