Product Description:
Written by two eminent practitioners and teachers of body MRI, this thoroughly illustrated volume is a practical, problem-oriented "how-to" guide to performing and interpreting abdominal and pelvic MRI studies. The book provides the necessary know-how for optimizing image quality and protocols and describes specific techniques, including MR angiography, MR cholangiopancreatography, MR urography, MRI of the gastrointestinal tract, and obstetrical MRI. A section on interpretation describes MRI appearances of 101 abdominal and pelvic abnormalities, presents differential diagnoses, and offers guidance on interpreting preoperative MRI studies. Additional chapters show normal MRI anatomy, answer frequently asked questions, and demystify MRI acronyms and terminology.

An excellent concise abdominal MR book. Very "big picture" yet thorough. I highly recommend it!
Summary: Worth Every Penny
Rating: 5
The recent growth of abdominal and pelvic MRI has dramatically increased the complexity of this field. Practical Guide to Abdominal and Pelvic MRI was written as an alternative to the traditionally large (hard to learn) reference textbooks. The authors' premise for this publication is that LESS IS MORE. The same premise of outstanding author Clyde Helms. In other words, we should attempt to learn the essentials first and then delve into the in-depth. This up-to-date book contains practical and concise descriptions, high quality illustrations, state-of-the-art technique (MR Angiography, MR urography, MRCP, Obstetric Imaging), the most common clinical cases encountered in daily practice, MR acronyms and terminology, and frequently asked questions to help you navigate through the complex world of abdominal and pelvic MRI. I do recommend this book.
