MRI is a cross-sectional imaging modality, which uses the spins of hydrogen protons to generate anatomical images and, with some techniques, functional information. One of the advantages of MRI over CT is that in MR studies no ionizing radiation is used, but its main advantage is its superior soft tissue contrast when compared with all other modalities. This chapter explains terminology; fundamental principles of magnetic resonance imaging; indications; safety; technique; contrast media; protocols; principles of interpretation; abnormalities, artefacts and pitfalls.
