This volume, authored by recognized experts in the field, offers a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen and pelvis. The individual chapters provide extensive descriptions and high-quality illustrations of normal appearances, common diseases, and rarer entities, consider technical requirements, and document latest developments. In addition, the value of magnetic resonance imaging relative to other imaging modalities is discussed. The result is a profound overview and indispensable reference that will be of great interest not only to radiologists but also to gastroenterologists, surgeons, gynecologists, and urologists
