MRI in Practice - Tapa blanda

MRI in Practice can be recommdned for all radiologic professionals interested in MR imaging. This is a strong text for the MR student and an updated resource for the MR technologist seeking to refresh imaging concepts and be introduced to new imaging updates. (Radiologic Technology, 1 March 2012) "Westbrook (health and social care, Anglia Ruskin U., UK) et al. provide a text on magnetic resonance imaging for radiographers, technologists, radiology residents, undergraduate and graduate students, and radiologists ... This edition has been revised and updated and has rewritten chapters on encoding and image formation and pulse sequences to include sampling, data acquisition, and the latest sequences." (Book News, 1 August 2011)

Since the first edition was published in 1993, MRI in Practice has become the standard text for radiographers, technologists, radiology residents, radiologists and even sales representatives on the subject of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This text is essential reading on undergraduate and postgraduate MRI courses. Furthermore MRI in Practice has come to be known as the number one reference book and study guide in the areas of MR instrumentation, principles, pulse sequences, image acquisition, and imaging parameters for the advanced level examination for MRI offered by the American Registry for Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in the USA. The book explains in clear terms the theory that underpins magnetic resonance so that the capabilities and operation of MRI systems can be fully appreciated and maximised. This fourth edition captures recent advances, and coverage includes: parallel imaging techniques and new sequences such as balanced gradient echo. Building on the success of the first three editions, the fourth edition has been fully revised and updated. The book now comes with a companion website at www.wiley.com/go/mriinpractice which hosts animated versions of a selection of illustrations in the book that are used on the MRI in Practice Course. These animations and accompanying text are aimed at helping the reader s comprehension of some of the more difficult concepts. The website also hosts over 200 interactive self-assessment exercises to help the reader test their understanding. MRI in Practice features: * Full color illustrations * Logical presentation of the theory and applications of MRI * A new page design * A companion website at www.wiley.com/go/mriinpractice featuring interactive multiple choice questions, short answer questions PLUS animations of more complex concepts from the book For more information on the MRI in Practice Course and other learning resources by Westbrook and Talbot, please visit www.mrieducation.com
