- Provides an easy-to-consult manual for professionals involved in DWI (Diffusion Weighted Imaging)
- Explores the main acquisition protocols
- Illustrates the technical, technological and clinical aspects of DWI
This practical DWI techniques manual featuring all aspects of this modality – from image acquisition to data processing – is intended for technicians, including radiologic technologists and radiologists in training, as well as other professionals using MR in their daily routine.
The contents are presented in concisely and schematically, and are enriched by a wealth of black and white as well as colored pictures and tables, making this an invaluable and easy-to-consult clinical tool. The main acquisition protocols are presented and explained in detail: how to optimize the best sequence parameters, balancing quality of the images and acquisition time, reducing or eliminating the most common artefacts.
Further, it presents the main software available, with detailed descriptions on how to use it to process, present and print the results. Examples and tutorials using real-world datasets complete the book.
