This book is intended to present the current clinical and research applications of MRI and spectroscopy in cardiovascular disease. This monograph is designed to provide information about MRI techniques as they are applied to the diagnosis of clinical cardiac disease and to the exploration of cardiac physiology and metabolism in the laboratory. The intended audience is broad and includes clinicians and basic scientists. Cardiologists and cardiac radiologists, their fellows, and laboratory researchers in cardiac function will benefit from the extensive material presented. The book features a large number of figures and an adequate number of images. Text is divided among an introduction to MRI, a presentation of current and future clinical applications, and an extensive discussion on research applications of MRI and spectroscopy. Discussions of cardiac contrast agents and MR angiography are included. The monograph is very comprehensive and features the best of both clinical and research applications of MRI in the cardiovascular system. Clinicians and researchers may find the detail of their opposite section beyond their interests. Pohost, Gerald M., MD (Univ of Alabama at Birmingham)The contributors are a combination of radiologists, cardiologists, biophysicists, and imaging researchers affiliated with academic medical centers, private practices, and industry. They come from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, Switzerland, and Holland.
