About this product: 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.
About this product: Whether you are a resident, practicing radiologist, or new fellow, this authoritative resource offers expert guidance on all the essential information you need to approach musculoskeletal MRI and recognize abnormalities. The updated second edition features new illustrations to include the latest protocols as well as images obtained with 3 Tesla (T) MRI. See normal anatomy, common abnormalities, and diseases presented in a logical organization loaded with practical advice, tips, and pearls for easy comprehension.
Follows a template that includes discussion of basic technical information, as well as the normal and abnormal appearance of each small unit that composes each joint so you can easily find and understand the information you need.
Depicts both normal and abnormal anatomy, as well as disease progression, through more than 600 detailed images.
Includes only the essential information so you get all you need to perform quality musculoskeletal MRI without having to wade through too many details.
Presents the nuances that can be detected with 3 Tesla MRI so you can master this new technology
Includes "how to" technical information on updated protocols for TMJ, shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, spine, hips and pelvis, knee, and foot and ankle.
Features information boxes throughout the text that highlight key information for quick review of pertinent material.
About this product: An invaluable tool for study and self-assessment of the techniques involved in magnetic resonance imaging. With illustrations and photos throughout, this review book is the ultimate test prep and refresher for the ARRT Registry Examination in MRI.
About this product: The progress of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a clinical tool has been extraordinary, out-stripping the rate of development of any other imaging technique. There has been a huge increase in the practical applications of MRI techniques and its uses look likely to extend even further with the development of high speed gradients and pulse sequences.
The Handbook of MRI Technique has proved highly successful in guiding the uninitiated through scanning techniques and helping more experienced technologists to improve image quality. The third edition of this highly successful book has been fully revised and updated to consider new technologies and developments essential to good practice.
The book is split into two parts. Part 1 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. Part 2 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. A section of problem-solving exercises completes the book.
Now in full color throughout with over 200 illustrations this book will continue to appeal to radiographers new to MRI and regular users who are looking for information on alternative techniques and suggestions on protocol modifications.
Completely revised and updated
Over 100 brand new photographs and line drawings
Written by technologists for technologists
With contributions from MRI technologists in the USA and Australia
About this product: This new edition to the "Tech's Guide" Series provides an overview of equipment, physics and clinical quality control for MR imaging, which represents material covered in the first half of the ARRT certifying exam for MRI.

About this product: This practical new reference makes it easy to evaluate disease processes of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. More than 1,000 MR images illustrate normal anatomy and the entities readers commonly encounter in practice. Numerous key points boxes in each chapter make clinical guidance easy to find and apply. It also addresses the expanding use of MRI to examine the male and female reproductive systems, pelvis, hips, bladder, and breast. - Examines the MR findings of normal anatomy and common entities for the liver, pancreas, kidneys, peritoneum and retroperitoneum, and male and female pelvis. - Includes chapters on the Breast, Fetal MRI, and MRI-MRA of the Aorta.
About this product: MRI Made Easy is an excellent portable pocket guide which can be consulted by the reader when monitoring scans on screen and during interpretations of images. The book is a simple overview of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which explains the fundamentals in a clear, concise manner. It has been written to serve as an introduction to the subject, specifically useful for beginners to MRI, particularly radiology residents. The book is divided into two sections: the first covers basic principles, instrumentation of the MR system, sequences, artefacts and MR interpretation. The second explains how MRI has advanced in recent years, and its applications across diverse disciplines. Contents: 1. Basic Principles 2. T1, T2 Relaxation and Other Parameters 3. Instrumentation 4. Sequences I: Basic Principles 5. Sequences II: Few Common Sequences 6. Artifacts 7. MR Safety 8. MR Contrast Media 9. Principles of Interpretation: Neuroimaging 10.

About this product: This is an indispensable companion in the practice of MRI! Magnetic resonance imaging is a modality that relies strongly on standardized protocols and procedures. Unless the proper routines are followed, the quality of the MR images will suffer. This book explores the practical aspects of MRI as it is practiced at many offices and radiology departments. The text is organized to follow the chronology of an MRI examination: preparations for the examination and necessary materials; special considerations in positioning and coil selection; protocols for conducting the examination; sample sequences; and, tips and tricks. Besides the classic indications in neurology and orthopedics, this book also covers whole-body imaging techniques including MR angiography and MR cholangiography.
About this product: This pocket atlas includes unmatched state-of-the-art CT and MRI images of 110 common pathologies organized by body system and type of pathology. The easy-reference format provides a concise overview of pathology, etiology, epidemiology, signs and symptoms, imaging characteristics, treatment, and prognosis. Features a separate pediatric section and detailed index guides.
About this product: This MRI review book is primarily focused on the registry and written for the MRI student or Technologist preparing to become MR certified.
