"A practical approach to MR physics that helps.increase.diagnostic effectiveness.This reference will benefit all practicioners who need to increase their working knowledge.It fills an important gap in the literature." -- The Neuroradiology Journal "Recommended.The images are of high quality. The physics chapters are succinct and to the point, easy to understand, and of clinical relevance.
this book offers a solid, easily understandable introduction to the world of 3T imaging that can be read in a few hours.a useful tool for radiologists, technologists, and managers."--American Journal of Neuroradiology "This slim volume of just over 200 pages is packed with a wealth of information on clinical MRI.It is a guide to the technology of MR image generation based on a detailed examination of a comprehensive set of images. In the text, primacy is given to the image and any physics content is directed at the elucidation of the issues depicted in the images. The format of the book would appeal to those who like their information in bite-sized portions. Each topic is covered in roughly two pages - one for the text and one for images. The images are judiciously selected, of a high quality and are well annotated.
If it is true that a picture is worth a thousand words then this book is a treasure trove and well worth the modest cost price. The method of presenation of the material is designed to produce a high impact and would be particularly suitable for revision studies and as an aid to teaching MR technology. It would also be an invaluable reference work at the MR console for image correlation purposes."--RAD Magazine "As a portable second edition paperback, this text is extemely use-friendly from the first chapter through the 110th.This resource aims to teach MRI physics through images and it accomplishes this goal with the well-detailed and extremely relevant images and diagrams provided.This reference has it all in one easy-to-read format. It completely covers all aspects of MRI from physics to safety to future advancements. Even cardiac imaging an MR mammography are included.
After reading this book, it is no surprise that it was a best-seller at RSNA, as well as an award winner. This book would be an asset to any person, in any position who is interested not only in learning about MRI, but in understanding it, as well."--ADVANCE for Imaging and Radiation Therapy Professionals "The authors have done an excellent job, approaching their task by making full use of images and thus making the book ideal for those who are used to looking at images. This combination of text and images will be useful and very educational for radiologists (and even scientists!) who read MR studies. This is an educational book of the utmost relevance!"--European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging "The text is concise and easy to understand.presents many helpful examples.a clear and concise review of MR imaging applications."--Radiology "Readers will benefit from the authors' clear, concise descriptions of each topic, which complement the images.
The scope of the contents is impressive.this book is full of useful demonstrations of how inherent properties of tissues being imaged, instrumental variations, and timing of the pulse sequences can substantially change MR images."--Doody's Review "Concise yet easily digestible language.the ideal reference book for quick review of each topic.the content of the book is impressive.the index is comprehensive and is one of the strengths of this book.new and improved images.particularly useful.
recommended for every MRI department."--RAD Magazine.
