Features: This book is divided into two parts. The first part systematically introduces the basic physicochemical concepts, pharmacology, and principles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. The second part, based on our experience in the application of contrast agents and incorporating the latest domestic and international clinical research achievements, focuses on the imaging diagnostic key points and differential diagnosis of enhanced MRI for various system diseases, striving to achieve practicality, scientific rigor, and novelty. For example, in the key chapter on the application of enhanced MRI in the diagnosis of cranial diseases, an innovative approach is adopted, with entries organized by regions or prominent imaging features, followed by detailed discussions on relevant diagnoses, especially differential diagnoses, to expand thinking and foster cross-connections in daily work. Given the strong practical nature of imaging practice, numerous illustrations are included in key chapters such as the central nervous system, liver, muscles, and bones for easy reference. In addition to serving as a daily reference for clinical medical imaging professionals, this book can also be used as a reference for clinicians in neurology, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, and other fields for medical practice, teaching, and research.
