The second edition of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) represents an excellent book formulated by the contribution of international
authors from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and the Royal Brompton
Hospital. The book, with 640 pages, is divided into five sections. In the first section,
the technical principles of CMR imaging are clearly explained by means of clear illustrations
and schematic representations. This section will be appreciated by both the beginner
and the expert CMR practitioner since it not only illustrates the principles of different
sequences, including coronary imaging, navigator echoes technique and high-field magnetic
resonance imaging, but also describes the anatomy of the heart and great vessels.
It discusses the imaging planes, the contraindications and the safety issues involving
not only adults, but also patients in the pediatric age.
