An Introduction to Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain

Helpfully concise in nature, this introduction to the subject provides the reader with an overview of the continually advancing technology and its clinical application.



Part 1 focuses on the use of MRI in the investigation of brain abnormalities and disorders, while part 2 covers clinical imaging of intracranial pathology. All areas are copiously illustrated - there are over 200 high quality images altogether.



The emphasis throughout is on conditions where MRI makes an important contribution to clinical management, and recently developed techniques are also included where they are likely to have an increasingly significant role in this regard. An index is provided to help the reader find their way around the text, and a further reading list is also included for those who want to study the subject in more depth.
