Risonanza magnetica

Now in its second edition, this thoroughly illustrated volume is a practical, problem-oriented 'how-to' guide to performing and interpreting abdominal and pelvic MRI studies. "Practical Guide to Abdominal and Pelvic MRI" provides the necessary know-how for optimizing image quality and protocols and describes specific techniques, including MR angiography, MR cholangiopancreatography, MR urography, MRI of the gastrointestinal tract, and obstetrical MRI. There is a section on interpretation that describes MRI appearances of 101 abdominal and pelvic abnormalities, presents differential diagnoses, and offers guidance on interpreting preoperative MRI studies. Additional chapters show normal MRI anatomy, answer frequently asked questions, and demystify MRI acronyms and terminology. This edition includes new imaging techniques and information on the liver, the kidney, and nephrogenic syndrome.

Packed with information on the practical aspects of MRI, this user-friendly text covers everything from advice on optimal positioning of patients to recommendations for setting the appropriate scanning parameters. Each consistently organized chapter follows the chronology of a standard procedure - the authors present essential information on preparation and necessary materials first. Then they skilfully guide the readers through special considerations in positioning and coil selection, protocols for conducting the exam, examples of various sequences, and possible modifications. Numerous tips, tricks, and pointers explain how to avoid potential complications. Highlights of the second edition: *340 high-quality MRI scans and anatomical drawings * New and expanded sections on MR angiography of pulmonary arteries and pelvic and leg vessels; the CARE Bolus Technique; whole-body MRI; and more * Information on the latest protocols for MR urography, cholangiography, and colonography * Consistent chapter structure for maximum accessibility on the job and at the MRI workstation * Each section contains plenty of space on each page for personal notes A guide to the most important MRI studies, the second edition of MRI Parameters and Positioning is an indispensable companion for all radiologists, radiology residents, and radiologic technologists.

L'opera "Risonanza magnetica dell'apparato locomotore" di Kaplan, Helms, Dussault, Anderson e Major affronta gli aspetti più importanti della Risonanza Magnetica del sistema muscolo-scheletrico. Per facilitare l'apprendimento, il testo è organizzato in maniera logica, illustrando prima i componenti anatomici e spiegando subito dopo le alterazioni che colpiscono le singole strutture. Inoltre, in tutti i capitoli sono presenti "riquadri informativi" che evidenziano i concetti importanti. Tra gli argomenti discussi in "Risonanza magnetica dell'apparato locomotore", accanto all'anatomia normale, le anomiale più frequenti e le malattie specifiche di una particolare sede anatomica, vi sono le articolazioni individuali e i processi patologici generali. Questo libro è cercato anche come: Risonanza magnetica dell'apparato locomotore Verduci, Kaplan risonanza magnetica

Due to the latest developments in magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of liver pathology, a second, completely revised and enlarged edition of this book was felt necessary, despite only three years having elapsed since the first edition. All chapters from the first edition have been revised and enriched with additional illustrations and information. New chapters have been added covering important and highly relevant topics, among which imaging of pseudolesions, imaging of neoplastic diseases in pediatric subjects, imaging of bile ducts, MR angiography and imaging pre and post liver transplantation. Particular attention has been paid to the differential use of contrast agents with emphasis placed on the authors' broad experience of MR imaging of focal liver lesions using different contrast agents. The diverse mechanisms of action of all MR contrast agents applicable for liver imaging are explained in detail and comparative examples are provided. As was the case with the first edition, this book will prove invaluable to radiologists wishing to further expand or consolidate their routine approach to MR imaging of the liver.

This book provides complete coverage of MRI to diagnose tumors and functional disorders of the chest and abdomen. It also addresses the expanding use of MRI to examine the male and female reproductive systems, pelvis, hips, bladder, and breast.

The New Edition of this popular, practical resource offers a lucid introduction to the principles of MRI, explaining in plain language the general principles of magnetism and nuclear magnetic resonance induction, and how this phenomenon can be used to generate and manipulate images for clinical use. A wealth of high-quality illustrations, complemented by concise text, enable readers to gain a solid understanding without requiring in-depth knowledge of physics and mathematics. And, each lists of essential points at the end of each chapter enable readers to test and hone their knowledge.

La Risonanza Magnetica (RM) ha rivoluzionato recentemente la diagnostica neuroradiologica, sostituendosi o ponendosi in valida

Noto ai radiologi di tutto il mondo per le sue illustrazioni di elevato livello e per i suoi aspetti pratici, l’Atlante Tascabile di Anatomia Sezionale propone oggi le più recenti novità delle tecnologie di imaging e descrive l’anatomia di base necessaria per interpretare le moderne immagini per sezione. Nella pratica clinica, rappresenta un ideale strumento di lavoro per radiologi e tecnici che operano con la TC e l’RM.Per formulare una diagnosi in base ad immagini per sezioni, anche gli operatori esperti devono adattare il pensiero alla rappresentazione per sezioni degli aspetti anatomici. Il manuale mira a favorire questo processo, presentando le due modalità che rivestono la maggiore importanza pratica nelle attuali tecniche di imaging per sezioni: la tomografia computerizzata e l’imaging di risonanza magnetica.L’importanza di queste modalità si fonda in parte sul loro elevato potere di risoluzione. Un grande numero di immagini è stato prodotto con strumenti a 3-tesla. Le illustrazioni a quattro colori sono state considerate una parte essenziale di questo obiettivo per potere mantenere il livello di chiarezza malgrado la quantità di informazioni.I contenuti dei tre volumi (I: Testa e Collo; II: Torace, Cuore, Addome e Pelvi; e III: Apparato muscoloscheletrico), che costituiscono un tutt’uno, seguono una rigida organizzazione in cui ciascuna immagine di TC o di RM è accompagnata da un diagramma a colori pertinente e da un disegno schematico in scala ridotta che indica il livello della sezione. Questa struttura fornisce il massimo di informazioni nel minimo spazio.

"The Atlas of Fetal and Neonatal Brain MR" is an excellent atlas that fills the gap in coverage on normal brain development. Dr. Paul Griffiths and his team present a highly visual approach to the neonatal and fetal periods of growth. With over 800 images, you'll have multiple views of normal presentation in utero, post-mortem, and more. Whether you're a new resident or a seasoned practitioner, this is an invaluable guide to the new and increased use of MRI in evaluating normal and abnormal fetal and neonatal brain development.
