John Sealy Distinguished Chair in Radiology; Professor and Chair; Department of Radiology; The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB); Galveston, TX, USA

Here is the first textbook to present a practical overview of the basic principles and clinical applications for 3 tesla (3 T) MR imaging. Organized into sections according to anatomical location, each case study is presented in a concise, two-page unit that enables the reader to digest and review the material in small sections. The author describes the situations that dictate the use of 3 T and explains the numerous clinical advantages of this field strength by drawing comparisons to corresponding studies at 1.5 T.

Highlights:
-Case studies from leading international experts covering the breadth of clinical MR
-Recommendations for how to optimize image quality and how to interpret the clinical findings
-Easy-to-follow descriptions of the strengths and limitations of 3 T
-400 high-quality clinical images and illustrations depicting key concepts
-Discussion of the various pulse sequence approaches
