Main description:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body.

This atlas is a comprehensive guide to MRI for radiology trainees and practising clinicians. Beginning with an introduction to the technique and the associated physics, each of the following chapters presents numerous high quality MRI images of different body systems including brain, orbit, spine, pelvis, and musculoskeletal system. Images are accompanied by detailed descriptions and each topic begins with a section on relevant anatomy.

A self assessment chapter is included to test knowledge, and the final chapters include a glossary of MRI terms and MRI acronyms.
