1. Introduction and Physics of Body MRI
I think a section on MRI safety would be useful here; it's a substantial topic, but I think it can be distilled down to a fairly short discussion. Interested readers should be referred to sources for a more in-depth treatment of this topic. Existing figures will be reviewed and updated as necessary.
2. MRI of Focal Liver Lesions
The main update to this chapter will be to introduce new LI-RADS system. Existing figures will be reviewed and updated as necessary.
3. MRI of Diffuse Liver Disease
This chapter was substantially updated in the 2nd edition and should not require much except for updated figures as necessary.
4. MRI of the Gallbladder and Biliary System
Existing figures will be reviewed and updated as necessary; no major updates to this chapter are expected.
5. MRI of the Pancreas and Spleen
Existing figures will be reviewed and updated as necessary; no major updates to this chapter are expected.
6. MRI of the Kidneys, Ureters, and Urinary Bladder
The main update to this chapter will be the proposed Bosniak v2019 system that applies to MRI. Additional MRI lesion features, including our own work, will be added and figures will be reviewed and updated as necessary.
7. MRI of the Adrenal Glands and Retroperitoneum
Existing figures will be reviewed and updated as necessary; no major updates to this chapter are expected.
8. MRI of the Gastrointestinal System
The main updates to this chapter are to add MR defecography and the advances in rectal cancer staging and posttreatment imaging with greater standardization in reporting and the standardization in the approach to MR enterography and reporting inflammatory bowel disease.
9. MRI of the Uterus, Cervix, and Vagina
Existing figures will be reviewed and updated as necessary.
10. MRI of the Ovaries and Adnexa
The main update to this chapter is the ongoing development of the O-RADS scheme for classifying ovarian lesions. Existing figures will be reviewed and updated as necessary.
11. MRI of the Prostate and Male Genitourinary System
The main update to this chapter is the updated PI-RADS system for classifying lesions on prostate MRI.
