One of the most important developments in diagnostic imaging over the last decade has been magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Its ability to differentiate between tissues and give patholog­ ical information about diseases has led to earlier treatment, thus increasing the likelihood of recovery. The images produced using this technique give superb anatomical detail in any plane and are obtained without the use of ionising radiation. The increased use of MRI has presented radiographers with a number of challenges, and because we are no longer dealing with ionising radiation understanding the subject can some­ times be confusing. We hope that this text will help radiographers and student radiographers to further their knowledge and unravel the mysteries of MRI. Philip T.

<p>Want to never count another calorie?Want to feel healthy and vibrant every day?Want to do this while eating delicious soul satisfying food? This is not a dream: YOU CAN BE A HEALTHIER YOU! What you have your hands on is a collaboration between Chef Gail Blair and Dr. Christine Moore-- two women "of a certain age" who are confirmed "foodies" and have the same passion for great tasting food and optimum health. Both Dr. Chris and Gail have had to tackle their own health issues. Having gone through many of the traditional medical routes with limited at best results for their respective health concerns, each ultimately found long term success with proper nutrition and food! Modern science and the numerous agencies attempt to improve upon nature has landed us in a collectively unhealthy state. It is getting back to the simple basics of nature that will bring the health pendulum back to balance. With so many modifications to our produce as well as all the processed foods being consumed it is no wonder that we are experiencing, at an unprecedented rate, significant genetic changes. Please read and think about the next statement, as it is very powerful! GENETICS DETERMINE A TENDENCY, ENVIRONMENT DETERMINES MANIFESTATION AND PROPER NUTRITION AND CONSISTENT HEALTH HABITS CHANGE THE GENE POOL. After 30+ years of practical as well as clinical experience and participating in countless nutritional Detox and cleanse programs, the Standard Process* 21 Day Program is the program Dr. Moore finds to consistently produce measureable improvement in labs, energy, sleep quality and weight mangagement. With compliance to the program a Detox/purification program can be life changing. For the best overall outcome and success, it is recommended that each person participate in the Detox while under the guidance of a Doctor or Nutritionist. Health is not sprint yet rather a steady marathon. Real results are not measured in what you did/ate at one moment in time. More importantly, it is m</p>
