MRI in Practice

Written by Catherine Westbrook and John Talbot, MRI in Practice, 5th Edition provides a reference for magnetic resonance imaging physics and clinical methods. Published by Wiley-Blackwell, this volume supports preparation for the ARRT registry review examination in MRI. The designated audience includes radiographers, technologists, radiology residents, radiologists, medical physicists, and nurses.

The thematic organization links physical concepts directly to technical execution. Introductory units analyze basic principles along with image weighting and contrast mechanisms. Subsequent coverage details spin and gradient echo pulse sequences before examining spatial encoding mechanics and the conceptual layout of k-space.

This edition incorporates brand new chapters focused on MRI equipment, vascular imaging, and safety. The text uses a full color format featuring additional illustrations and MRI images to assist clinical practitioners and examination candidates.
