Research and Markets: Susceptibility Weighted Imaging in MRI: Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f39b32/susceptibility_wei) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Susceptibility Weighted Imaging in MRI: Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications" to their offering.

“Susceptibility Weighted Imaging in MRI: Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications”

MRI Susceptibility Weighted Imaging discusses the promising new MRI technique called Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI), a powerful tool for the diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke, allowing earlier detection of acute stroke hemorrhage and easier detection of microbleeds in acute ischemia. The book is edited by the originators of SWI and features contributions from the top leaders in the science. Presenting an even balance between technical/scientific aspects of the modality and clinical application, this book includes over 100 super high-quality radiographic images and 100 additional graphics and tables.
