Abstract
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is an exciting new diagnostic modality that has created tremendous interest in the medical profession. Although not unparalleled, the excitement engendered by MR imaging conjures up memories of the “CAT fever” induced by introduction of X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanners in 1973 (19).Keywords
