Sure textbooks are necessary, but most people learn best by practical problem solving which is what this book provides. The basics are well covered in teh text, however the strength of this text is the DVD which gives rapid access to actual clinical studies. The MRI is presented, not as a few static images but as beating hearts - moving away from the staid static textbook we used in school and toward a dynamic view of what the clinical imager sees everyday when they do cardiac MRI. The important clinical questions are answered through the cases, in which you are given a history and then view the cardiac study and make your diagnosis. The answers are available with clear detail and tie in with teh text of the book. Finally a book that moves from overly complex theoretical physics of the proton, and this is how you "could" do it, to a practical, clinically orientated multimedia teaching approach based on how clinicians doing cardiac mri work every day.
