From the reviews: "This book outlines the history and evolution of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), as well as clinical applications. ... I would recommend it for both medical physicists and radiology residents and physicians. ... Literature references at the end of each chapter enable readers to obtain more information. This book will be a good resource for those currently in the field as well as those who are just starting out. I would recommend it for readers who need to learn more about MRA." (Lara Dyke, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2013) "This book consists of two sections, each containing a number of independent chapters by different authors. The first section covers MRI and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) techniques and the second section focuses more on application of MRA to imaging specific parts of the body. ... the book seems to thoroughly cover the field of MRA and would be a useful reference to any person who is interested or working in MRA."
