Product Description
During the past decade significant developments have been achieved in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), enabling MRI to enter the clinical arena of chest imaging. Standard protocols can now be implemented on up-to-date scanners, allowing MRI to be used as a first-line imaging modality for various lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension and even lung cancer. The diagnostic benefits stem from the ability of MRI to visualize changes in lung structure while simultaneously imaging different aspects of lung function, such as perfusion, respiratory motion, ventilation and gas exchange. On this basis, novel quantitative surrogates for lung function can be obtained. This book provides a comprehensive overview of how to use MRI for imaging of lung disease. Special emphasis is placed on benign diseases requiring regular monitoring, given that it is patients with these diseases who derive the greatest benefit from the avoidance of ionizing radiation. |

A great overview by S. Halaweish (USA)  5 Stars
October 17, 2009
An excellent and intriguing text in the field of imaging. The text is a little expensive, as is with many textbooks, but it has been worth the price. I have not finished it, but even as a starting medical student interested in MRI imaging, this is a great introduction. The authoring of the different topics by experts of each specific field is impressive.
