Clark's Essential Guide to MRI in Clinical Practice

This easy-to-understand guide in the highly respected Clark’s stable of diagnostic imaging texts is an essential handbook for daily practice in magnetic resonance imaging, providing clear and practical advice to help both experienced practitioners and those new to the modality at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The book provides guidance on general procedures in MRI, summarising current relevant literature and professional body guidelines. Clark’s Essential Guide to MRI in Clinical Practice takes the systematic approach adopted within books in the Clark's family and is designed to be clear and consistent. The book introduces the reader to the technique from first principles, including image generation and capture, physical and psychological preparation of the patient, and safe practice, then moves to MRI by body region. Organised from head to toe, this section includes images that have been carefully selected to demonstrate positioning and, most importantly, adaptive positioning technique, where the reader will learn how to achieve diagnostic images when their patient cannot lie in the desired ‘textbook’ position. The content concludes with a section devoted to advanced and specialist practice, including cardiac, fetal and breast imaging, and the impact of AI.
