Abstract

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an outstanding non-invasive diagnostic tool with clinical impact in all radiology fields. It is based on the electromagnetic properties of living tissues, free of ionizing radiation, and capable of rendering the highest soft-tissue contrast images of all imaging modalities. Continuing research, software, and hardware refinements had led to widening its clinical applications. This chapter reviews the basics characteristics of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
