520			_aAn introduction to the premier clinical imaging field strength for MR Here is the first textbook to present a practical overview of the basic principles and clinical applications for 3 tesla (3 T) MR imaging. Organized into sections according to anatomical location, each case study is presented in a concise, two-page unit that enables the reader to digest and review the material in small sections. The author describes the situations that dictate the use of 3 T and explains the numerous clinical advantages of this field strength by drawing comparisons to corresponding studies at 1.5 T. Highlights: Case studies from leading international experts covering the breadth of clinical MR Recommendations for how to optimize image quality and how to interpret the clinical findings Easy-to-follow descriptions of the strengths and limitations of 3 T 400 high-quality clinical images and illustrations depicting key concepts Discussion of the various pulse sequence approaches Clinical 3T Magnetic Resonance is essential reading for all radiologists, radiology residents, MR physicists, and MR technologists seeking to master this emerging diagnostic tool. _bCommon terms and phrases: acquired acquisition additional adjacent agent allows application arrow arrowhead artery artifacts axial body brain cartilage cause cervical changes clinical coil compared component contrast coronal current decrease demonstrates depiction detection different direction disease echo edema effect encoding energy enhancement exam example factor fibers field strength Figure flip angle frequency gradient high higher Illustrated in Fig image quality improved include increase indicates injury knee large lateral lead left lesion level ligament limits lines liver lower magnetic field matrix measurement medial min:sec motion msec multiple normal Note parallel imaging partial patient perfusion phase possible postcontrast posterior presents prostate proton density provides pulse quantum mechanical reduced refocusing relative renal required result right routine Runge sagittal scan seen sequence short shown shows signal intensity slice thickness small SPACE spatial resolution specific spine studies system T2-weighted images tear technique tissue tumor value vessels visualization volume voxel weighted white
