I recommend purchasing Body MRI by Evan Siegelman. This book is a simple textbook that explains technique and findings for Body MRI.
Everything we do is covered in this book. Each chapter has loads of references you can read for more information. Your first time through
the rotation you should read the chapters on the liver, kidney, and female pelvis. If you are a Fellow you should read this entire book
during the year.
Please refer to the list of articles compiled by Dr. Pahade which are listed on the department website.
