MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls




Laura W. Bancroft, Mellena D. Bridges, "MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls"


English | 2008 | ISBN-10: 0781783143 | 850 pages | PDF | 43 MB




MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls presents over 1,800 images of normal anatomic variants, artifacts, and other features that mimic pathology on MRI scans. The book will reduce the rate of diagnostic errors by helping radiologists distinguish pathology from MRI appearances that may simulate disease.




Organized by anatomic region, the book covers the gamut of neuroradiology, breast imaging, vascular, cross-sectional, and musculoskeletal radiology. Each chapter shows examples of normal anatomy, variations, common incidental or benign conditions, and imaging features that may mimic other disease processes. Concise figure legends facilitate rapid identification of imaging characteristics. Examples of common MRI artifacts are included, with brief explanations from physicists in language understandable to radiologists.

Understand what every developer should know about performance when building Windows Store apps. Not designed as a comprehensive reference, this book instead zeroes in on the essentials of planning for great performance and provides a solid starting point for building fast apps.




This concise, performance-focused guide:




Provides an introduction to the Windows platform from a performance point of view


Describes how to set performance goals, establish tests to track performance, and covers tools to instrument code and analyze performance


Explains why common techniques such as micro benchmarks and ad hoc testing often fall short in verifying performance


Focuses on managed C#/XAML apps


Although tools and techniques also apply to Visual Basic/XAML apps, all code examples use C#


HTML5/JavaScript and C++/XAML are not covered
