Divided into nine chapters, this book discusses Magnetic Resonance Neurography (MRN) in different parts of the body.

Beginning with an introduction to nerve anatomy and pathophysiology, the authors examine the most common clinical scenarios encountered and explain how to produce high quality MRN images and optimise the use of MR magnets in peripheral nerve imaging.

With contributions from recognised authorities in the US and almost 600 detailed images and illustrations, this book also includes a chapter on MR guided injection and discusses future directions, research areas and scope for further developments in technology.
