Pitfalls, Variants And Artifacts In Body Mr Imaging

MRI technology differs greatly from traditional x-ray and computed tomography technology. The artifacts and normal variants that may appear on MRI images also differ. This text is a highly useful collection of artifacts and variants, organised by organ system, that will greatly help the radiologist to distinguish them from true underlying pathology. It is organised anatomically with chapters on the brain, head and neck, spine, chest and cardiovascular system, abdomen, pelvis, muscoskeletal system and physics. Over 1300 MR images with captions describing the relevant artifact or variant Contributions from leading MRI facilities Emphasis on problems in the clinical setting References to other literature for in-depth information
