“Quantitative MRI of the Brain: Principles of Physical Measurement” is the second
edition of this textbook, originally published in 2003 as “Quantitative MRI of the
Brain: Measuring Changes Caused by Disease”. Paul Tofts, a well-known and highly respected
expert in the field, conceived and edited the first edition and has co-edited the
latest edition. The book’s primary focus is on quantitative MRI (qMRI), which is assuming
an ever more important role in research as well as in clinical MRI. The overall structure
of the 2nd edition is very similar to the first, with 12 of the 18 chapters having
identical (or near-identical) titles, in almost the same order. However, aside from
the first three chapters written by Tofts, all of the chapters in the new book have
different authors compared with the first edition. Furthermore, the book includes
four entirely new chapters, covering important topics which were not included first
time around (susceptibility-weighted imaging, advanced diffusion, CEST and multinuclear
MR); there is also a new chapter on Image Analysis, replacing four separate chapters
in the original book.
