"This is a very thorough book on the physics of cardiac MRI and its utility in addressing patients with suspected or known heart, valvular, pericardial, or congenital heart disease. It is a necessity for all noninvasive cardiologists, echocardiographers, and cardiology fellows interested in becoming board-certified in advanced cardiac imaging." --George Irvin McLeod, MD (Ochsner Clinic Foundation) Doody's Score: 100- 5 Stars!
