Cardiovascular MRI Tutorial presents 37 informative lectures that systematically explain all of the key aspects of CMR.

The great coverage within Cardiovascular MRI Tutorial is complemented and reinforced by the PowerPoint lectures on the enclosed companion DVD.

The text mirrors the content of these PowerPoint lectures and provides full explanations of concepts that are well illustrated in the slides.

Features:

• Lectures for self-learning or CMR programs
• Physics simplified
• Focus on imaging methods, protocols, sequences and scan planning
• Limitations and pitfalls of CMR
• Thorough treatment of artifacts that can confuse interpretation
