Cardiovascular MR imaging has become a robust, clinically useful mod- ity, and the rapid pace of innovation and important information it conveys have attracted many students whose goal is to become adept practitioners. In turn, many excellent textbooks have been written to aid this process. These books are necessary and useful in helping the student learn the underlying pulse sequences used in CMR, as well as the imaging findings in a variety of disorders.

Produktbeschreibung
Cardiovascular MR imaging has become a robust, clinically useful mod- ity, and the rapid pace of innovation and important information it conveys have attracted many students whose goal is to become adept practitioners. In turn, many excellent textbooks have been written to aid this process. These books are necessary and useful in helping the student learn the underlying pulse sequences used in CMR, as well as the imaging findings in a variety of disorders. However, one of the difficulties inherent in learning CMR from a book is that the printed format is not the ideal medium to d- play the dynamic imaging that comprises a typical CMR case. For instance, it may be difficult to perceive focal areas of wall motion abnormality on serial static pictures, but these abnormalities are often easily seen on cine loops. One might say that trying to learn CMR solely from a standard textbook with illustrations is like trying to learn to drive by looking at snapshots obtained through the windshield of a moving car. The learner needs to see the cardiac motion and decide if it is normal or abnormal; he or she needs to be in the driver’s seat. An additional limitation of the ava- able textbooks on CMR is that while they often have superb illustrations of abnormal findings, these images have been preselected.
Autorenporträt
Magnetic resonance angiography has an increasing role in imaging the arterial system, due in part to the lack of need for arterial puncture or administration of a nephrotoxic contrast medium. However, less well known is the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the heart. MRI is currently used to evaluate cardiac morphology, myocardial perfusion, ventricular function, tissue viability, and coronary artery anatomy. It will become the technique of choice for assessing the patient with suspected atherosclerotic heart disease. This book provides a comprehensive package of cases using cardiac MRI. It contains 150 cases authored by leading academic clinicians, and features images and discussions presented in a sequential/categorical format. The book contains all the relevant instructive text.
