Best Diagnostic Imaging

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. It covers fundamental topics that anyone practicing MRI needs to understand to get the most out of the MR system and interpret images correctly. Specifically the authors are technologists/radiographers and therefore rather than present material in a highly technical or mathematical fashion, which is common of other books of this genre, we approach the theoretical concepts from the point of view of how technologists or radiographers make appropriate selections at the MR console or how radiologists interpret images correctly. For the most part clinicians involved in MRI are not physicists and so unless they can see how the theory relates to what they actually do in practice, it is difficult to make sense of it all. Another reason for the books success is that it is used as course material on the MRI in Practice course that is taught by myself and co –author John Talbot to hundreds of people annually in 14 different countries around the world. I didn’t want to totally digitize the book at this stage but felt that a companion web site was a good starting point. Some of these have been used in the companion web site specifically where an animation rather than a static image in the book really helps understanding. We know from feedback from delegates that attend the MRI in Practice course that these animations make all the difference so this is a good opportunity to help readers of the book as well.

"This book is pretty much mandatory if you want to register as a MR tech, all of the information is very useful, and is boiled down to a level more palatable for most people, well as much as MR can be anyways."
"Love this, perfect condition and an easy to read book considering the difficulty of the content."
"As a first semester MRI student i read chapters 1-3 in a month advance and the techs were really surprised how i understood the concept of TR, TE, k-space,voxel, ect."
"Not always easy to follow bc of sentence structure and twisting turning rambling out of sequence thoughts."
"Has been a great book for my MRI intro class."
"the book is great."
"Great book and informative."

As for the physical construction: there's some kind of glossy coating on the book's pages, making it easily smudge-able if you write in it, highlight, or are even just wearing hand lotion. Our class also found out that the online study site for this book (Cengage's "Coursemate" site) is glitchy and full of inaccuracies."

"Because of the tough use some books receive, the traditional "perfect" binding that is used on most soft-cover books sometimes fails. Because a conventional perfect bound book does not open up and lie flat without the user pressing down on it hard enough to break the binding, in which case the pages eventually fall out. As this patented Otabind binding process was designed to do, it not only makes our hard-use books easier to read and study but also solves the problem of cracked spines and lost pages that often plagues perfect bound books."
