Product Description
The progress of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a clinical tool has been extraordinary, out-stripping the rate of development of any other imaging technique. There has been a huge increase in the practical applications of MRI techniques and its uses look likely to extend even further with the development of high speed gradients and pulse sequences.

The Handbook of MRI Technique has proved highly successful in guiding the uninitiated through scanning techniques and helping more experienced technologists to improve image quality. The third edition of this highly successful book has been fully revised and updated to consider new technologies and developments essential to good practice.

The book is split into two parts. Part 1 considers the main aspects of theory that relate to scanning and also includes practical tips on gating, equipment use, patient care and safety, and information on contrast media. Part 2 provides step by step instruction for examining each anatomical area, beginning with a basic anatomy section, followed by sections on indications, patient positioning, equipment, artefacts and tips on optimizing image quality. A section of problem-solving exercises completes the book.

Now in full color throughout with over 200 illustrations this book will continue to appeal to radiographers new to MRI and regular users who are looking for information on alternative techniques and suggestions on protocol modifications.

Good Solution

Building protocols for the MRI is not an easy job.This book represents the first step in order for the radiologist to understand the principles that he needs to take into consideration in order to perform examinations that reveal the pathology of the patients.

Helpful for MRI professionals

I just would like to mention about the possibility in prepare a new edition. This one was published in 1999. The technology is fast and growing every day with new procedures and new tools. I think will be helpful if a new edition could be edited, including the newest studies with a 3 Tesla machine.

This book is great and I do recommend for everyone who works in the MRI field.
