Fundamentals of Body MRI

MRI of Focal Liver Lesions

▪ Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most comprehensive and definitive noninvasive modality for evaluating the liver. A combination of enhancement characteristics and exquisite tissue contrast allows for the characterization of liver lesions. Unique artifacts—such as susceptibility and chemical…

Introduction and Physics of Body MRI

▪ Magnetic Resonance Imaging: What is the Objective? Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exploits the inherent magnetism of the protons that constitute the human body in a creative way—through manipulation with radiofrequency (Rf) energy in the presence of a strong magnetic…
