This primer provides a concise, methodological approach to abdominal MR imaging techniques.

The authors place an emphasis on a pattern recognition approach, thereby focusing on clinical-pathologic correlation (i.e., the morphological characteristics and pathologic criteria necessary to diagnose disease), as opposed to disease epidemiology
