Preface After the first MR image was acquired in experimental phantom tubes almost 40 years ago, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has developed significantly and become one of today’s most interesting and irreplaceable imaging modalities. MRI is used to find answers to medical questions by utilizing various contrast mechanisms independently or in combination, which is different from other imaging modalities. However, using an MRI system effectively depends mainly on a good understanding of underlying physical principles, correct use of the MR protocols, correct patient positioning, and graphical prescription. These main sections form the basis of a good MR scanning routine in clinical practice. In this book, MRI principles, patient positioning, and protocols a
