This book is excellent for review and for technologists in the field. The guidlines for protocols are extremely helpful especially for new technologists.

I just would like to mention about the possibility in prepare a new edition. This one was published in 1999. The technology is fast and growing every day with new procedures and new tools. I think will be helpful if a new edition could be edited, including the newest studies with a 3 Tesla machine.

This book is great and I do recommend for everyone who works in the MRI field.

Hi,
I have read different books written by Catherine,this one is very good.It is good simply because was written by the Technologist.
I had a chance to buy it at the MR seminar last weekend.I recommend it to every MR Technologist who wants to become better in the MR art.

We have had to set up our protocols for our new MRI scanner, and this book was very helpful. Good review of parameters and how to scan.

This is a necessary book for the first semester of MRI school.
The book was reasonably priced and arrived in perfect condition.
It was cheaper than the college bookstore.

This book is very helpful when learning MRI; other textbooks teach the physics, this one teaches the technical side of MRI.

This book really covers the spectrum of MRI knowledge for the beginning technologist. It covers everything from the basics of MRI to scan ranges to exam indications. This book coupled with Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals 2nd Edition is all you would need to pass the registry. I will update this once I take the registry. If you're a beginning tech I highly recommend this as a great reference guide.

As I mentioned in title, - this is my personal opinion only and doesn't mean that it has to be used as an advise for not using this book. I found a lot of answers for my questions, but also didn't find a lot as well. I am working on open GE 0.2 MRI and have to adjust almost everything according to my magnetic field. This book describe and explains a lot of things that are used in practice (sat pulses, sequences, etc) however I would like to get help with understanding when and why do I have to use this or that sequence, and which one should I avoid. However, I am still using it all the time and have it with me always. In conclusion, I like this book, but it is not the best for me.

I AM VERY GLAD TO FIND THE MAJOR PATHOLOGY FOR BOTH CT AND MRI IN THIS BOOK. DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP YOUR COPY AT AMAZON: WHEN YOU COMPLETE READING THIS BOOK, CONSIDER YOURSELF A TWO YEARS EXPERIENCE TECH!

Building protocols for the MRI is not an easy job.This book represents the first step in order for the radiologist to understand the principles that he needs to take into consideration in order to perform examinations that reveal the pathology of the patients.
