Current Protocols in Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the key to unlocking and fully realizing the performance capabilities of any MR system, whether in a clinical or non-clinical setting. Regularly updated in all formats since its initial publication in March 2001, this single-volume reference...

• gives specific and thorough descriptions of protocols and technical approaches to MR applications that yield clear and accurate images of any part of the human body–male or female.
• provides sequences for machines of different field strengths and from different manufacturers, including detailed tables listing the parameters of each sequence presented in a consistent, easy-to-read format.
• includes a full section covering the basic principles underlying MR imaging–a textbook within the title!
