<p><i>Liver Imaging: MRI with CT Correlation</i> is a cutting-edge book developed by a team of world-renowned MRI and CT specialists, led by Richard Semelka, MD, whose monumental, 2-volume <i>Abdominal-Pelvic MRI,</i> Third Edition, is the gold standard for abdominal MRI reference and teaching. This new, atlas-style book features over 500 high-quality images, and adds beautifully captured CT (computed tomographic) images as correlations to a wealth of MR (magnetic resonance) images. The result is a self-contained, completely reliable reference for dynamic imaging with MRI and CT correlations.<br /><br />This book provides a practical approach for imaging of focal and diffuse liver lesions based on state-of-the-art MR and CT imaging sequences, multidetector row CT images, 3D reformatted images, breath-hold MRI sequences, and cutting-edge MR 3T images where appropriate, concise but useful figure legends, relevant and systematic (differential) diagnostic information, the latest references to primary literature and clinical evidence, and patient management possibilities.<br /><br /></p> <ul> <li>User-friendly, atlas-style presentation, with over 500 MRI and CT images featuring state-of-the-art MR and CT imaging sequences, multidetector row CT images, 3D reformatted images, breath-hold MRI sequences, and cutting-edge MR 3T images</li> <li>Highly practical approach for imaging of focal and diffuse liver lesions, complete relevant and systematic (differential) diagnostic information, the latest references to primary literature and clinical evidence, and patient management possibilities</li> <li>Reflects a pattern-recognition approach to MRI and CT imaging, assisting with efficient scanning of images and assessment and diagnosis of disorders</li> </ul>
