Chapitre après chapitre, les principes fondamentaux et les applications essentielles de l’IRM sont ainsi détaillés dans cette 8e édition : - magnétisme nucléaire, résonance magnétique et relaxation - contraste en T1, T2 et densité protonique - séquences IRM - codage spatial et plan de Fourier - qualité d’image, artéfacts et modalités pratiques - angiographie par résonance magnétique et imagerie cardiaque - imagerie de diffusion, de perfusion et IRM fonctionnelle - spectrométrie par résonance magnétique. Véritable manuel d’auto-formation, cet ouvrage s’attache à décrire et expliquer aussi bien les concepts théoriques fondamentaux que les applications pratiques les plus complexes. Une iconographie détaillée, toute en couleur, ainsi que des vidéos et animations 3D, accessibles sur un site dédié, viennent faciliter l’apprentissage des notions les plus exigeantes. Une nouvelle classification, par famille de séquences (comme dans le jeu des 7 familles), dresse une typologie précise des différents cycles d’acquisition IRM : écho de spin, inversion-récupérati... écho de gradient, écho planar et hybrides, acquisitions parallèles et suppressions tissulaires. Le lecteur aura toutes les cartes en main pour bien comprendre l’IRM ! Cet ouvrage aux qualités pédagogiques remarquables, recourant à des modèles simplifiés originaux, s’adresse aux étudiants en médecine et en radiologie, aux radiologues, aux manipulateurs et aux étudiants manipulateurs en imagerie médicale.
