Book Description:

This new edition of the most accessible introduction to MRI principles and applications provides understandable yet comprehensive coverage including the latest developments in this fast paced field. It offers the only such concise overview of magnetic resonance physics, imaging techniques, hardware, and applications available. This Third Edition includes dozens of brand new images to support the text, as well as added discussions on 3D imaging, real time imaging, cardiac imaging, and parallel acquisition techniques. Clinical protocols have been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect current methodologies.

Review:
easy to understand

Although I am only in the chapter 2 right now, I can't wait to share my feelings. Compare to other books that I've read before, this book is easier to understand. The author didn't use some beautiful words or unmeaning words. He just got the point. For further reserching, this might be insufficient, but for technician like me or anyone who wants to know about MRI, this book will be the best choice to the avenue to understanding.

Review:
Excellent introductory text for MRI

As a scientist that uses MRI on a daily basis I have often wanted to write a book for introducing the subject to the many students, technologists, and other interested parties that wish to use MRI in their work. Fortunately, Brown and Semelka have written it for me (the royalites would be nice though!). The book is excellent in presenting the complexities of magnetic resonance imaging in a straight forward intuitive physical picture. The authors then proceed to descibe most of the main MRI techniques leaving the reader with a firm understanding about each imaging sequence. The book addresses in short but nonetheless satisfactory fashion such issues as image contrast, prepatory pulses, imaging artifacts and methods to reduce artifacts. The authors include a chapter covering the main components of any MR imager which should reduce the bewilderment that most novices have when they must walk into the equipment room. Finally, the authors cover several areas of application in the last few chapters reviewing the main topics of each. A list of leading references and suggested readings are included at the end of the book if the reader desires more in depth information. The book is compact, inexpensive and should be the first book for anyone looking to MRI as a tool for their work.
