Handbook of MRI Technique

by Catherine Westbrook

Now entering its fourth edition, the market-leading Handbook of MRI Technique has been fully revised and updated to incorporate new technologies and developments essential to good practice. Written specifically for technologists and highly illustrated, it guides the uninitiated through scanning techniques and helps more experienced technologists to improve image quality. The first part of the book considers the main aspects of theory that relate to scanning and also includes practical tips on gating, equipment use, patient care and safety, and information on contrast media. The second half provides step-by-step instruction for examining each anatomical area, beginning with a basic anatomy section followed by sections on indications, patient positioning, equipment, artefacts and tips on optimizing image quality. Handbook of MRI Technique continues to be the ideal support both for radiographers new to MRI and for regular users looking for information on alternative techniques and suggestions on protocol modifications.

I have no idea why I have this book or when I even received it. I don't study radiology. However, it's interesting to look through the book and skim the images or read some paragraphs. If it's fun for me then I'm sure this would be helpful to an *actual* student.

I finally get what all the different protocols are on a pretty fundamental level. Thank heavens for this book.
