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 JournalRecommended...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 NeuroradiologyThis 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 MagazineAs 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
