Practical Illustrations Sodium Spectroscopy and Imaging: Clinical Applications
A valid distinction between cytotoxic and vasogenic edema is based mainly on the differences in blood–brain barmier permeability. Vasogenic edema fluid develops in association with a variety of pathologic conditions such as brain tumors, brain abscesses h

Foreword for the First Part of the Book: ‘Quantum What Quantum Tell Me More About It…….’
The routine MRI literature in the scientific world does not much emphasize MRI as a quantum coherence phenomena. The educational aspect of MRI does not depict well the multi-quantum part of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The nuclear multi-quantum aspect forms an integral part of the MQMRI (multiquantum magnetic resonance imaging). The proper role of the word ‘Nuclear’ has been avoided in the RF radiation imaging literature. The imaging is basically referred to as the MRI instead of clearly mentioning the NMRI (nuclear magnetic resonance imaging). This is
