Book excerpt: Covers issues related to the practice of both diagnostic and interventional MRI on this new type of open design MR scanner. The unique configuration and often mid-field strengths of these machines necessitates new strategies for both diagnostic and interventional procedures compared to that ofthe standard 1.5 tesla diagnostic-only MR scanners, to which the majority of the radiologic literature is addressed today. This broad, multi-authored work will appeal to radiologists, medical physicists, other physicians, and health care personnel.
