MRI of the Liver

Book Description
Due to the latest developments in magnetic resonance imaging for the
evaluation of liver pathology, a second, completely revised and
enlarged edition of this book was felt necessary ?despite only
three years having elapsed since the first edition. All chapters from
the first edition have been revised and enriched with additional
illustrations and information. New chapters have been added covering
important and highly relevant topics, among which imaging of
pseudolesions, imaging of neoplastic diseases in pediatric subjects,
imaging of bile ducts, MR angiography and imaging pre and post liver
transplantation. Particular attention has been paid to the
differential use of contrast agents with emphasis placed on the
authors?broad experience of MR imaging of focal liver lesions using
different contrast agents. The diverse mechanisms of action of all MR
contrast agents applicable for liver imaging are explained in detail
and comparative examples are provided. As was the case with the first
edition, this book will prove invaluable to radiologists wishing to
further expand or consolidate their routine approach to MR imaging of
the liver.
