Handbook of Small Animal MRI

The use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in veterinary practice has grown rapidly in recent years and more and more vets are discovering the benefits of MRI to themselves, patients and clients. This is one of the first books aimed specifically at vets using MRI in practice. It not only acts as a useful reference, providing an overview of the basic principles, but it also acts as a practical guide, showing exactly how MRI works and the safety procedures involved.
