Download or read book Pocket Atlas of MRI Body Anatomy written by Thomas H. Berquist and published by Raven Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new Second Edition of this popular and widely used pocket atlas depicts the anatomy of extracranial organs as seen on state-of-the-art magnetic resonance (MR) images. The book presents 96 MR images of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, thigh, knee, calf, foot and ankle, shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, and hand and wrist. The images are displayed in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. Anatomic features are labeled on each image using numbers with legends at the top of the page, and each image is accompanied by a line drawing demonstrating the level and plane of section. Most images were obtained using spin-echo sequences; however, other sequences are also used. The sequence used is indicated for each anatomic section. Slice thicknesses vary with anatomic location: thin sections in articular regions and thicker sections in the abdomen, chest, and other extra-articular locations.
