Abstract

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been introduced in clinical practice in the mid-eighties. However, MRI is an ever evolving imaging technique with constant new developments allowing broadening of clinical applications. In particular, angio-MRI involves many different acquisition techniques that will guide their clinical use. On the other hand, clinical applications of the following techniques are briefly discussed: diffusion, perfusion, tractography and diffusion tensor imaging, spectroscopy and functional imaging.
