A non-mathematical introduction to MRI, focusing on the 3-dimensional and kinetic aspects of magnetic resonance imaging. The basic concepts - magnetism, electrical and resonance phenomena, and sub-atomic properties of matter - are described using easy-to-understand analogies, mechanical models and diagrams.Advanced imaging techniques, including spectroscopy, fast scan, flow, perfusion and diffusion are discussed, and important practical applications of MRI related to image quality and safety are reviewed in detail. Arranged by organ system, the clinical chapters correlate magnetic imaging properties with the chemistry, histology, physiology and pathophysiology of each system.
