Bushong's book excellent for a whole range of people who want to understand the fundamentals of MRI by Hardave S. Kharbanda (San Antonio, TX USA)  5 Stars
September 30, 2008
Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Physical and Biological Principles
This book is remarkable in the way that it explains the fundamentals of MRI so clearly while using very, very few equations. Prof. Bushong uses a huge number of tremendously creative -- and often funny -- illustrations to achieve this accomplishment. Although this book is naturally insufficient for those desiring a fully mathematical understanding of MRI, it is ideal (except for its lack of discussion of Functional MRI) for those who want a firm visual understanding of MRI physics, and it is also one of those rare books that explains so many practical details of *actually using* MRI machines -- their possible dimensions, strength, weight, associated costs, associated building requirements, etc. It could also be a great first read for those who will eventually delve into the subject mathematically, and finally, could be an excellent book for a physician, nurse, businessperson, or layperson who won't have to directly deal with MRI but who wants to have a solid grasp of how it works. I strongly recommend this book!

If you need to Study for the Registry....This is not recommended by KEN (Washington, DC)  1 Stars
December 29, 2007
This book was a waste of time. Too involoved with other things and
not really helpful in guiding you for studying for the Big Test.
The anatomy section was good -- but the remainder was a big waste of time. I do not recommend this at all.

with 475 illustrations by Paladin Yun (USA)  4 Stars
October 20, 2005
This book is good for understanding the physics of MRI.
It contains many illustrations. The pictures make things easier.
Those who want to know the basic idea of MRI may want to have a look at it.
It is really good.

This book makes the complex understandable!!!! by P. Borngraeber (Anchorage, Alaska) 5 Stars
July 18, 2005
This text is the third MRI book I have approached. I spent a week on the first chapters of others, esp the supposed "Bible" of MRI, written by the two women. I wish I had not wasted my money on their new book. I was wondering if applying to MRI school was a mistake. Bushong's book is put together so that
anyone can understand the complex physics involved. You "get it" on the first read. That is wonderful by me.

| Handbook of MRI Technique
by Catherine Westbrook (Author)
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...
