Klappentext

This volume focuses on abdominal MRI techniques with a complete overview ranging from liver main pathologies to stomach, colon up to kidney and male and female pelvis diseases.

Imaging of the Abdomen, GI System, Pelvis, and Urinary System provides a comprehensive guide to all main abdomen pathologies and MRI applications. As part of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Handbook, Second Edition, this book is an ideal guide for clinical practice. The book discusses MRI of the urinary system, pelvis, spine, soft tissues, and lymphatics. The book also examines MR of the placenta and pregnant woman (excluding fetal). Thanks to the support of high-quality images the book provides complete coverage of magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen and pelvis helping the radiologist to effectively interpret findings under the guidance of the most relevant experts in the field. The expanded edition has also been enriched with new chapters on esophageal MRI imaging and extraperitoneal diseases. The book is part of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Second Edition set.

This book is intended for students, radiologists and imaging specialists looking for a state-of-the-art reference on MRI.
