Ultrafast MRI. Techniques and Applications

von Jörg F. Debatin Kategorie: Magnetresonanztomographie ISBN: 3540627650 Kommentar abgeben

Synopsis The implementation of ultrafast MR acquisitions has dramatically impacted on clinical MR imaging practice, providing improved image quality and new insights into function and morphology of organ systems. Besides the background theory, underlying pulse sequence designs and hardware considerations, this manual describes the practical advantages and disadvantages in clinical use, especially for neurologic, cardiac, vascular and abdominal applications. Strategies for implementing these techniques in clinical protocols are discussed. The study seeks to bridge the gap separating MR scientists into physicists and clinicians.

Umschlagtext The implementation of ultrafast MRI has dramatically impacted clinical MR practice. Faster image acquisition has resulted in greater patient throughput and higher image quality, particularly in regions subject to respiratory motion. In addition, ultrafast techniques proffer new insight into function and morphology of organ systems by providing the basis for cerebral perfusion and diffusion imaging as well as virtual 3D MR colonography and gastrography . The book attempts to bridge the gap...
