Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become the primary technique throughout the body in the routine diagnosis of many disease process, replacing and sometimes surpassing Computed Tomography (CT). MRI has particular advantages in that it is non-invasive, using non-ionising radiation, and has a high soft-tissue resolution and discrimination in any imaging plane. The resultant MR image is based on multiple tissue parameters any of which can modify tissue contrast. In its development, MRI has incorporated a multidiciplinary team of radialogists, technicians, clinicians and scientists who have made, and are continuing to make, combine efforts in further extending the clinical usefullness and effectivness of this technique. |
