Product Description
Since the first edition of MRI in Practice was published in 1993, the book has become the standard text for radiographers, technologists, radiology residents, radiologists and even sales representatives on the subject of magnetic resonance imaging. This text is essential reading on postgraduate courses. Furthermore, MRI in Practice has come to be known as the number one reference book and study guide in the areas of MR instrumentation, principles, pulse sequences, image acquisition, and imaging parameters for the advanced level examination for MRI offered by the American Registry for Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in the USA. The book explains in clear terms the theory that underpins magnetic resonance so that the capabilities and operation of MRI systems can be fully appreciated and maximized. This third edition captures recent advances, and coverage includes: parallel imaging techniques, functional imaging techniques and new sequences such as balanced gradient echo.
Building on the success of the first two editions, the authors have now re-conceptualized the design of the book. The third edition contains a wealth of additional illustrations and chapter enhancements draw on the depth of the authors' experience in delivering MRI education and training. To promote accessibility of difficult concepts, extended analogies have been developed to relate the complexities of MRI physics to everyday phenomena. Learning points are clearly articulated, and frequent summaries are included to assist the reader in digesting the information.

 It is OK November 18, 2009
Y. Wang (West Chester, OH USA)
Fancy book. Good for technician. If you want to get more than that, it is not the book you want. Very basic stuff about MRI.
 MRI Bible September 3, 2009

When I was training at the University of Pennsylvania this book was known as our "Bible". In short, it comprehensivly covers MRI from Atoms to Zipper artifacts. The book can be a little technical at times but unfortunatly, that's MRI for you. It does a great job at explaining the basic concepts of MRI and then building on those ideas to explain the more complex ones (K-Space headaches anyone?). A must for any technologist serious about passing their boards or reviewing MRI physics and implimentation.
You only need this one book! November 5, 2008
Titans Fan (Nashville, Tn USA)
I just recently passed the MRI registry thanks to this one book. I've been an MRI Tech for over 22 years and this book was very good in breaking down the Physics associated with MRI. The authors prove to the world that being a MRI Tech is definitely more than just "pushing buttons"!
Great Text book June 28, 2008
Nicolas Ruales (NJ USA)
Although this was a school requirement, I find it to be extremely useful and detailed.
The best-written MRI book May 2, 2008
Liz T. (NY, USA)
I own many, many books on medical imaging, specifically MRI. This book encompassess the physics, sequences, imaging parameters, artifacts, contrast, and clinical application of these in very simple language with great illustrations. The authors have succeeded in publishing the best-written and most thorough of study/review books out there today.
