An introduction to the premier clinical imaging field strength for MR Here is the first textbook to present a practical overview of the basic principles and clinical applications for 3 tesla (3 T) MR imaging. Organized into sections according to anatomical location, each case study is presented in a concise, two-page unit that enables the reader to digest and review the material in small sections. The author describes the situations that dictate the use of 3 T and explains the numerous clinical advantages of this field strength by drawing comparisons to corresponding studies at 1.5 T. Highlights: Case studies from leading international experts covering the breadth of clinical MR Recommendations for how to optimize image quality and how to interpret the clinical findings Easy-to-follow descriptions of the strengths and limitations of 3 T 400 high-quality clinical images and illustrations depicting key concepts Discussion of the various pulse sequence approaches Clinical 3T Magnetic Resonance is essential reading for all radiologists, radiology residents, MR physicists, and MR technologists seeking to master this emerging diagnostic tool.
Award Winner, RSNA 2009! This lavishly illustrated book uses high-quality images to present a practical guide to the physics of magnetic resonance. Written by internationally renowned authors, the book places an emphasis on learning visually through images of real cases rather than through mathematical equations and provides the fundamental information needed to achieve the best images in everyday clinical practice. This edition features new images and incorporates information on the latest technical advances in the field, discussing such important topics as 3 T, specific absorption rate (SAR), arterial spin labeling, continuous moving table MR, and time-resolved contrast enhanced MR angiography.Highlights: Concise chapters make difficult concepts easy to digest 400 high-quality images and illustrations demonstrate key concepts This book is a valuable reference for radiologists and an excellent resource for residents preparing for board examinations. It is also ideal for MR technologists and students seeking to fully understand the basic principles underlying this important diagnostic tool.
When confronted by a range of violent actions perpetrated by lone individuals, contemporary society exhibits a constant tendency to react in terms of helpless, even perplexed horror. Seeking explanations for the apparently inexplicable, commentators often hurry to declare the perpetrators as “evil”. This question is not restricted to individuals: history has repeatedly demonstrated how groups and even entire nations can embark on a criminal plan united by the conviction that they were fighting for a good and just cause. Which circumstances occasioned such actions? What was their motivation? Applying a number of historical, scientific and social-scientific approaches to this question, this study produces an integrative portrait of the reasons for human behavior and advances a number of different interpretations for their genesis. The book makes clear the extent to which we live in socially-constructed realities in which we cling for dear life to a range of conceptions and beliefs which can all too easily fall apart in situations of crisis.
This updated edition of The Physics of Clinical MR Taught Through Images has been thoroughly rewritten and includes key information on how to apply an understanding of physics to improve diagnostic images. It teaches a practical approach to MR physics using images and emphasizes knowledge of the fundamentals that are important to achieving and maintaining high image quality using the readers MR equipment. Key Features: Includes discussion of the latest hardware and software innovations in MR, such as advanced parallel RF transmission, MR-PET, and interventional MR Covers new imaging strategies critical to current and future advances, including compressed sensing and cartilage mapping, multi-shot EPI, and quantitative parametric mapping in the heart Cases presented use images from actual patient exams More than 600 high-quality clinical images illustrate concepts presented in the text Radiologists, physicists, residents, and MR technologists will find this new edition to be a very useful reference that will help them quickly understand techniques and concepts in clinical MR that are taught visually through images.

Over 650 images clearly illustrate the MR appearance of each disease.
Das MRT-Technik-Buch für Einsteiger Praktische Einführung in die Grundlagen der MRT-Technik ohne komplizierte Formeln, visualisiert durch viele Aufnahmen.
MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls presents over 1,800 images of normal anatomic variants, artifacts, and other features that mimic pathology on MRI scans. The book will reduce the rate of diagnostic errors by helping radiologists distinguish pathology from MRI appearances that may simulate disease. Organized by anatomic region, the book covers the gamut of neuroradiology, breast imaging, vascular, cross-sectional, and musculoskeletal radiology. Each chapter shows examples of normal anatomy, variations, common incidental or benign conditions, and imaging features that may mimic other disease processes. Concise figure legends facilitate rapid identification of imaging characteristics. Examples of common MRI artifacts are included, with brief explanations from physicists in language understandable to radiologists.
English summary: Nanotechnology is all about tiny objects, even single atoms. It is subtly conquering everyday life, is interdisciplinary in nature and poses completely new challenges for patent law. The lawyer and physicist Andre Sabellek examines whether it is possible to meet these challenges on the basis of the existing patent law, or whether a further fragmentation of patent law - as initiated by the introduction of special regulations concerning biotechnological inventions - is unavoidable. In doing so, he always also considers the technical perspective of the expert. German description: Die Nanotechnologie hantiert mit winzigen Objekten, sogar mit einzelnen Atomen. Sie erobert unsicht...
