"This book presents a comprehensive review of the recent developments in fast L1-norm regularization-based compressed sensing (CS) magnetic resonance image reconstruction algorithms. Compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging (CS-MRI) is able to reduce the scan time of MRI considerably as it is possible to reconstruct MR images from only a few measurements in the k-space; far below the requirements of the Nyquist sampling rate. L1-norm-based regularization problems can be solved efficiently using the state-of-the-art convex optimization techniques, which in general outperform the greedy techniques in terms of quality of reconstructions. Recently, fast convex optimization based reconstruction algorithms have been developed which are also able to achieve the benchmarks for the use of CS-MRI in clinical practice. This book enables graduate students, researchers, and medical practitioners working in the field of medical image processing, particularly in MRI to understand the need for the CS in MRI, and thereby how it could revolutionize the soft tissue imaging to benefit healthcare technology without making major changes in the existing scanner hardware. It would be particularly useful for researchers who have just entered into the exciting field of CS-MRI and would like to quickly go through the developments to date without diving into the detailed mathematical analysis. Finally, it also discusses recent trends and future research directions for implementation of CS-MRI in clinical practice, particularly in Bio and Neuro-informatics applications."

"The objective of this book is to serve as a practical educational resource for clinical magnetic resonance imaging. The bulk of the text is organized along anatomic lines and discusses disease entities commonly encountered in clinical practice. The focus is illustrating and describing the MR appearances of the most commonly imaged disease entities, covering briefly in each area important points relative to imaging techniques then discussing in depth, the clinical MR interpretation. The breadth of clinical MRI is explored. For each subtopic within an anatomic region, clinical cases serve as the backbone for discussion, the most common pathologies affecting each anatomic region being illustrated. The final chapters discuss specifically contrast media and contrast enhanced MRA, two topics worthy of further description due to their present clinical importance. When relevant to diagnosis or essential for understanding, MR physics is discussed, however the reader is referred separately to Runge et al, The Physics of Clinical MR Taught Through Images 2nd Edition (New York: Thieme; 2009) for further elaboration. It is the goal that upon completing this text, the reader will have an appreciation for the complexity, utility, and versatility of MR in clinical imaging and will possess the knowledge essential for interpretation of basic clinical MR "

"Recent advances in MR technology permit the application of diffusion MRI outside of the brain. In this book, the authors present cases drawn from daily clinical practice to illustrate the role of diffusion sequences, along with other morphological and functional MRI information, in the work-up of a variety of frequently encountered oncological and non-oncological diseases. Breast, musculoskeletal, whole-body, and other applications are covered in detail, with careful explanation of the pros and cons of diffusion MRI in each circumstance. Quantification and post-processing are discussed, and advice is provided on how to acquire state of the art images, and avoid artifacts, when using 1.5- and 3-T magnets. Applications likely to emerge in the near future, such as for screening, are also reviewed. The practical approach adopted by the authors, combined with the wealth of high-quality illustrations."

""ABSTRAK"Latar Belakang : Gambaran foramen neuralis servikal pada potongan aksial memiliki keterbatasan dan tidak memperlihatkan foramen secara en face. Pemeriksaan MRI servikal dengan menggunakan potongan sagital oblik memberikan visualisasi dan diagnosis stenosis foraminal yang lebih optimal karena pengambilan potongan tegak lurus terhadap foramen neuralis. Saat ini prosedur operasional standar pemeriksaan MRI servikal di RSCM belum menggunakan potongan sagital oblik, sehingga masih belum dapat memberikan visualisasi langsung yang jelas dari foramen neuralis servikal dikarenakan anatomi dari foramen neuralis servikal tersebut.Metode : Pada penelitian ini, dievaluasi 23 subjek penelitian 5 orang laki-laki, 18 orang perempuan, dengan rerata usia 57 tahun yang menjalani pemeriksaan MRI servikal di RSCM. Sebanyak total 138 foramen dianalisis dari C4-5 sampai C6-7 untuk mengetahui perbedaan diagnosis derajat stenosis foraminal servikal pada potongan aksial dengan potongan sagital oblik MRI servikal. Uji hipotesis dilakukan dengan uji nonparametrik Mc Nemar dan hubungan diagnostik antara kedua potongan dinilai dengan analisis Cohen rsquo;s Kappa.Hasil : Terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara diagnosis kategori stenosis berdasarkan potongan sagital oblik dengan aksial MRI servikal dengan nilai p=0,001. Pada analisis Cohen rsquo;s Kappa didapatkan nilai r = 0,248 dengan nilai p=0,000.Kesimpulan : Terdapat perbedaan diagnosis stenosis yang siginifikan pada potongan sagital oblik dengan aksial MRI servikal dengan tidak adanya kesesuaian diagnostik antara kedua potongan tersebut.

""ABSTRACT"Background Axial images in cervical MRI examination has limitations in evaluating neural foramen and do not directly visualized it. Oblique sagittal images cervical MRI, that perpendicular to the neural foramen in axial images, provides optimal visualization and better diagnosis of foraminal stenosis grading. Currently, the standard operating procedures of the cervical MRI examination in RSCM are not yet using oblique sagittal images, so it still can not provide direct visualization of the cervical neural foramen due to the anatomy of the cervical foraminal.Method In this study, we evaluated 23 people 5 males and 18 females, mean age 57 years who visited RSCM and underwent cervical MRI. A total of 138 foramina were analysed from C4 5 to C6 7 both sides, based on axial images and oblique sagittal images to determine the diagnostic differences in cervical foraminal stenosis. Hypothesis testing was done with Mc Nemar nonparametric test and diagnostic association between the two images was assessed by Cohen rsquo s Kappa analysis.Result There is significant diagnostic differences p 0,001 of stenosis grading using axial images and oblique sagittal images cervical MRI. In the analysis of Cohen rsquo s Kappa, obtained r 0,248 with p 0,000Conclusions There is significant differences in the diagnosis of cervical foraminal stenosis between the oblique sagittal images and axial images and also there is no diagnsotic association between oblique sagittal and axial images.

"The idea of using the enormous potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) not only for diagnostic but also for interventional purposes may seem obvious, but it took major efforts by engineers, physicists, and clinicians to come up with dedicated interventional techniques and scanners, and improvements are still ongoing. Since the inception of interventional MRI in the mid-1990s, the numbers of settings, techniques, and clinical applications have increased dramatically. This state of the art book covers all aspects of interventional MRI. The more technical contributions offer an overview of the fundamental ideas and concepts and present the available instrumentation. The richly illustrated clinical contributions, ranging from MRI-guided biopsies to completely MRI-controlled therapies in various body regions, provide detailed information on established and emerging applications and identify future trends and challenges."
