Synopsis: This book offers an essential and practical aid in daily practice of MRI of the female pelvis. It voluntarily adopts a very pragmatic approach favoring a rhythmic, concise, informative editorial style, with many inserts to emphasize the key points, pitfalls, tips and tricks useful in clinical routine. Tables and diagnostic algorithms also come to enrich it, always in a didactic spirit. The chapters all follow the same plan: radio-anatomical presentation, essential for a relevant interpretation; description of the recommended MRI protocol to best explore the organ in question; semiological description of the pathologies encountered, classified according to their benign or malignant type. The iconography is rich and abundant including many MRI sections, but also useful diagrams for a better visual approach to the anatomy and the encountered pathologies. Finally, this format is easy to consult and will hopefully find a place by your side to quickly answer any questions that we all encounter. This book is primarily addressed to residents in radiology but also to more experienced radiologists. Gynecologists may also find this guide useful to better understand what they can or cannot expect from MRI of the female pelvis.
