Substantially revised and expanded and thoroughly updated, the second edition of this reference establishes a basis for the clinical application of MRI in the 1990s. The book offers an overview of the physics and technology of MRI, an atlas of normal MRI anatomy, and a systematic review of MRI-detectable pathology of all extracranial organ systems. The text is illustrated with over 3,000 MR images and complementary CT scans and radiographs.
