Overview

Understanding Magnetic Resonance Imaging explains the pulse sequences, imaging options, and coils used to produce MR images, providing a strong foundation for performing and interpretig imaging studies. The text is complemented by more than 100 figures and 25 photomicrographs illustrating the techniques discussed. Radiology residents, MR technologists, and radiologists should not be without Understanding Magnetic Resonance Imaging the only single resource that explains all technical aspects of MRI.

Reviews

Many books have been written about the basics of MRI. This one has managed to find a happy medium between the cartoonish basic books and mathematically rigorous advanced books. The authors have presented the physics of NMR in a clear fashion, which provides ample background to understand the sequences that are prevalent in today's MRI clinic. The textbook lends itself well to resident training and as a brief review of the essentials of MRI. -Doody's Weekly E-Mail Bulletin [Its] strength is the breadth of topics covered in good to excellent detail and the fact that many of the topics cannot be found covered in as concise a mannera useful, midlevel reference book on he basics of MRI -Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging
