This is the first publication to meet the scholarly criteria of translating the basic precepts of magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy into one comprehensive and complete text covering in detail the spectrum of abnormalities affecting the human thorax. This book's comprehensive coverage ranges from pulmonary embolism, lung water detection, focal and diffuse lesions of the lung and mediastinum, to other areas of clinical relevance, such as the sleep apnea syndrome. This work is the result of the combined efforts of an interdisciplinary group of experts from different specialities which assures a balanced, comprehensive critical evaluation of the available knowledge on this subject and of its pathophysiologic and clinial implications. This monograph will be of vital interest to radiologists, internists, surgeons (especially thoracic), pulmonary specialists, cardiologists, physicists, biophysicists and bioengineers.
