Summary

The market-leading at a Glance series is used world-wide by students and newly qualified practitioners for its concise and simple approach and excellent illustrations.

Each topic is presented in a double-page spread with clear, easy-to-follow diagrams, supported by succinct explanatory text.

Covering a wide range of topics, they are ideal as introductory texts for teaching, learning and revision, and are useful throughout university and beyond.

Everything you need to know about MRI ... at a Glance!

MRI at a Glance encapsulates essential MRI physics knowledge. Illustrated in full colour throughout, its concise text explains complex information, to provide the perfect revision aid. It includes topics ranging from magnetism to safety, K space to pulse sequences, and image contrast to artefacts.

This third edition has been fully updated, with revised diagrams and new pedagogy, including 55 key points, tables, scan tips, equations and learning points. There is also an expanded glossary and new appendices on optimizing image quality, parameters and trade-offs.

MRI at a Glance is ideal for student radiographers and MRI technologists, especially those undertaking the American Registry of Radiation Technologist (ARRT) MRI examination, as well as other health professionals involved in MRI. --Book Jacket.
