What Is the Difference Between an MRI and MRA?

This book is co-authored by more than 50 internationally renowned medical imaging experts from different countries. On the basis of systematically explaining the basic theory and basic technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), the author focuses on the introduction of MRI and MRA in various congenital heart diseases, acquired heart diseases and vascular diseases. Application, the third part of the book describes in detail the extensive application of MRI and MRA in ischemic heart disease.
