Designed to help the technologist plan and acquire MRI images, Handbook of MRI Scanning includes the step-by-step scanning protocols you need to produce optimal images. Coverage of all body regions prepares you to perform virtually any scan. Each scan sequence goes beyond the presentation and recognition of three-plane, cross-sectional anatomy. Included for each sequence are:
• appropriate slice placements,
• images taken in the relevant planes, and
• labeled line drawings of the pertinent anatomy.
With this handbook, you can conceptualize an entire scan and its intended outcome before performing the scan on a patient.
Features include:
• Handy size offers easy, immediate access right at the console.
• 400 images provide multiple views and superb anatomic detail.
• Suggested technical parameters are provided in convenient tables for quick reference, with space to write in site-specific protocols or equipment variations.
• Comprehensive overview of MRI safety.
• Overview of MRI contrast.
• Cross-vendor acronym chart.
