    À l’hôpital ou en privé, l’imagerie par résonance magnétique est devenue, pour le radiologue, un examen de pratique quotidienne. Ce guide, résolument pratique, propose pour chaque type d’examen : • une liste de points à analyser de façon systématique sous la forme d’une « check-list »; • une analyse descriptive et sémiologique de chacune des images présentées ; • un développement stratégique consacré au choix de l’examen d’imagerie, à la technique et aux points d’interprétation. Les entrées abordées correspondent à des motifs de consultation et sont spécifiquement adaptées à la pratique quotidienne. Ainsi, ce guide propose toutes les informations nécessaires à l’interprétation correcte des différents examens mais aussi les données sémiologiques et stratégiques permettant au médecin une rédaction claire et précise de son compte rendu. Le contenu, plus structuré, permet un accès rapide à l'essentiel : textes courts et énumératifs avec des encadrés spécifiques pour les alertes et les risques de confusion. Le radiologue accède ainsi à l'information de manière rapide, en lien direct avec sa pratique quotidienne, à l'hôpital ou en clinique privée. Le pictogramme, représentant une bombe, permet de souligner les éventuels pièges à éviter. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux radiologues débutants ou confirmés, étant amenés à pratiquer l’IRM dans leur activité clinique, quel que soit leur domaine de spécialisation.
