Abstract
Modern MRI systems allow physicians to look inside the body without the use of ionizing radiation (see Fig. 6.1). They provide excellent soft-tissue contrast for morphological imaging as well as a range of possibilities for functional imaging, e.g., for visualizing blood flow, tissue perfusion or diffusion processes.
