An introduction to the premier clinical imaging field strength for MR

Here is the first textbook to present a practical overview of the basic principles and clinical applications for 3 tesla (3 T) MR imaging. Organized into sections according to anatomical location, each case study is presented in a concise, two-page unit that enables the reader to digest and review the material in small sections. The author describes the situations that dictate the use of 3 T and explains the numerous clinical advantages of this field strength by drawing comparisons to corresponding studies at 1.5 T.

Highlights:

• Case studies from leading international experts covering the breadth of clinical MR
• Recommendations for how to optimize image quality and how to interpret the clinical findings
• Easy-to-follow descriptions of the strengths and limitations of 3 T
• 400 high-quality clinical images and illustrations depicting key concepts
• Discussion of the various pulse sequence approaches

Clinical 3T Magnetic Resonance is essential reading for all radiologists, radiology residents, MR physicists, and MR technologists seeking to master this emerging diagnostic tool.
