Book description
Since the first edition 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 maximised. This fourth edition captures recent
advances, and coverage includes: parallel imaging techniques and new
sequences such as balanced gradient echo.
Building on the success of the first three editions, the fourth
edition has been fully revised and updated. It also now has a
companion website which hosts animated versions of a selection of
illustrations in the book to aid with the reader's comprehension of
some of the more difficult concepts. The website also hosts over 200
interactive self-assessment exercises to help the reader test their
understanding.
