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.

Customer Reviews

Fabulous and Fantastic
I have not come across such a fantastic book for MRI physics, I was always afraid and running away from this never understood mri physics topic, but this book holds you in grip so interstingly with colorful diagramtaic presentations that one wants to read the whole book in one go.

I am sure this book is 100% fruitful for those who really want to understand the MR physics.

Quantum Leap!
I think the other reviewer on this page must have been reviewing an earlier edition of MRI in Practice! The new third edition represents a quantum leap for this well known MRI text. This book is already a top seller and has helped hundreds of radiographers and techs in the UK and USA but the new edition is even better as it has all-new colour diagrams and updated text.

MRI in Practice
I used this book for the first part of a masters degree. It is simple to use and clear in its design. The explanations are adequate and in the speak of the MR radiographer. It lacks in areas of more advanced techniques and still has a few flaws which are found, if you read more advanced literature. However, as a starter for the beginner and a review book for the more advanced it is more than adequate.
