Purchase this book only if you want to pass. It was the best study tool that I had to pass the registry. The test are formatted so closely to the actual registry until it was scary. I highly recommend this book as a study tool.

Great Registry Aid 5 out of 5 stars.

I thought this book was a great study aid. Some of the questions were actually on my exam. I took my x-ray boards 30 years ago, and this book really helped me get in a study groove. It was a great investment! Sue Scott Palmerton, PA

excellent! 5 out of 5 stars.

I love the answers portion of this book. It not only gives you the correct answer, but it also explains why its it correct answer and the research source. So you can confirm it for yourself.

Editorial Review:

Since the first edition of MRI in Practice 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. This text is essential reading on postgraduate 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 maximized. This third edition captures recent advances, and coverage includes: parallel imaging techniques, functional imaging techniques and new sequences such as balanced gradient echo.



Building on the success of the first two editions, the authors have now re-conceptualized the design of the book. The third edition contains a wealth of additional illustrations and chapter enhancements draw on the depth of the authors' experience in delivering MRI education and training. To promote accessibility of difficult concepts, extended analogies have been developed to relate the complexities of MRI physics to everyday phenomena. Learning points are clearly articulated, and frequent summaries are included to assist the reader in digesting the information.

Outstanding reference book. Lost my first one and immediately purchased another one. I would recommend this positioning book for any radiology student or technician. It is a very handy reference book.

Book is defective 3 out of 5 stars.

The book itself is very well done, just this one had sections that were out of order, making it difficult to reference. My son has been using it this way & doesn't want to give it up so we can send it back for an exchange. Apparently it happened when it was bound in the spiral binding & we can't take it apart to fix it! My son is a Radiology student & loves the book anyway.

Editorial Review:

Pocket-sized atlas, in outline format, demonstrates 216 projections, and includes 317 illustrations and 11 conversion charts. Covers the applied aspects of radiographic positioning and exposure factors. Previous edition: c1999. Wire-spiral binding.

Editorial Review:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the fastest growing modality in diagnostic imaging. There are now thousands of MRI facilities across the United States and around the world, employing huge numbers of technologists. The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists has, with the help of experts in the MRI and educational fields, devised a multiple choice examination that is intended to ensure that all technologists have the required level of knowledge to practice MRI safely and competently. Carolyn Kaut and William Faulkener, experts in the field of MRI education, have compiled this book to help students prepare for the registry examination. The questions follow the structure of the syllabus and are intended to help readers test their understanding of the subject and identify any gaps in their knowledge. The book is extremely comprehensive, covering all the aspects of the examination, including patient care and safety, imaging procedures, pulse sequences and data acquisition, and imaging artifacts and options.

Editorial Review:

Designed to serve as both a clinical manual and an instructional tool, this text covers the sectional anatomy of the entire body in an easy-to-understand, comprehensive format. The user-friendly design of the book presents actual, diagnostic-quality images from both MRI and CT modalities, side-by-side with line drawings to illustrate the planes of anatomy most commonly imaged. Concise explanations describe the location and function of the anatomy, and each image clearly labels all pertinent anatomic structures to aid in location and identification of anatomy during actual clinical examinations. The result is a practical guide that improves the imaging professional's ability to consistently produce the best possible diagnostic images. Instructor resources are available; please contact your Elsevier sales representative for details.

• Side-by-side presentations of images and line drawings on the same page spread allow the reader to see correlations between line drawings of physical anatomy and actual, diagnostic-quality CT and MR images.
• Over 1,300 images and detailed line drawings demonstrate sectional anatomy for every plane of the body that is commonly imaged.
• Pathology boxes briefly describe common pathologies related to the anatomy being discussed to form connections between the scans in the text and common pathologies readers are likely to encounter in practice.
• Summary tables organize anatomic information for each major muscle group, listing the muscles, points of origin and insertion, and functions.

• Anatomic maps - line drawings that show the angle and level of each scan - appear with the actual scans, so readers can easily access the proper orientation for scanning and identifying anatomy.
• 290 new scans, including more 3D and vascular images, demonstrate current technology.
• A new introductory chapter provides a foundation by teaching the terminology related to sectional anatomy and preparing the reader for more complex content that follows.
