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.

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.

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.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

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.

Caused more frustration than anything 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This was the required text for my Sectional Anatomy course, as part of my radiography curriculum. I found the layout of the book disorganized and frustrating. I felt it would have been helpful and appropriate for the text to address the sequencing of CT/MRI images instead of showing a random shot here or there...I suppose that's difficult to do without a multimedia/interactive presentation, but I still had alot of trouble learning via this text. I found the abbreviated captions virtually useless and ill-concieved. It's one thing if you're tyring to quiz yourself and want a hint, but if you're trying to learn from scratch, it would have made much more sense seeing the long-hand terms written out in the columns so we know what we're looking at. Having to glance down at the caption and search for the abbreviation in question proved very distracting to the learning process. And the written text was...well, not enough text. Instead of offering helpful ways to differentiate and remember the many different body parts and structures, the text follows a very robotic "the A bone connects to the B bone which leads to the C artery and supplies the D organ...". I felt overwhelmed with similar-sounding descriptions and didn't take much away from the learning experience that wasn't lost in days. If I already had an understanding of cross-sectional anatomy before using this text, it may have served as a succinct review, but given the fact it is assigned to first-time X-sectional learners I felt it was too abstract and devoid of personality. If I decide to go into CT or MRI in the future, I plan on selling this book and doing a little research on finding the best and most current text available at the time. I can tell this one won't age well.

Editorial Review:

This one-of-a-kind book is unique in its side-by-side presentation of actual, high-quality diagnostic CT and MR scans and detailed line drawings of anatomy. Its concise and clearly written text is closely correlated to more than 800 images and line drawings, providing a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand sectional anatomy resource. The practitioners to relate and apply what they learn to the clinical setting.

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.

A nice and useful book 4 out of 5 stars.
15 of 16 people found this review helpful.

The book reviews the basic prerequisites for physicians interested in nuclear medicine. It is not complete and the image acquisition and processing part for SPECT imaging is sparse, but it's a very nice little book. I used it to prepare for the nuclear cardiology board certification exam and I found it very useful, although it is geared more towards general nuclear medicine. The book is clear and concise and the questions at the end of each chapter are extremly helpful.

Editorial Review:

This widely used text is now fully updated to reflect the broad acceptance and availability of PET, including instrumentation and special radiation safety aspects. Also added are new information on radiopharmaceuticals, newer scintillation materials (BGO), fusion imaging (PET/CT and SPECT/CT), descriptions of SPECT filters, discussions on contrast detail curves, and radiation effects on cell culture. An easy-to-read format and eye-friendly internal design facilitate learning and guide readers through essential details, examples, and true-to-life problems. A testing component at the end of each chapter offers key points for review with questions and answers.
