The book is divided in sections as described by the A.R.R.T. examination. Tons of questions, with nice explanations in the answer key. Also includes Practice Test.

This book has lots of helpful questions, however, it seems to be a bit dated as of today, 2004. For example, it states that the body coil is the best coil to use in imaging the pelvis vs. a surface coil. No one I talked to, and I talked to many with much more experience than I , could find the reasoning behind that.

This book has a great questions that I did not learn in the MRI in practice book. The questions are on the difficult side, which has it's good and bad points. On one hand, it is great if you can answer the questions correctly, you will probably pass your boards. On the other hand, unless you have successfully passed a MRI course or read the MRI in practice book, this review book may be difficult to extract information from. The book does give detailed answers in the back of the book, includes two practice tests, and has the questions divided into sections like the board exams. All in all, I would buy the book and would recommend the book. I hope this helps. Good luck to everyone taking the boards.

This book had great questions except for the anatomy part. You could not make out any of the anatomy on the poorly published pictures. I had to skip over all those questions. I don't know if it was only my book with such poor pictures or if they are all like that, but at the price they charge for this book, I think we should get full use of it.

I have to disagree with most of these reviews. I bought this book a while back to study for the registry exam and although it did help, there were too many typos for me to really trust the info in it. I'm sure Mr. Wheeler's seminars are great, but the editor of his book should have double checked the information and math calculations before publishing this book.

don't waste your time or money on this book. Extremely outdated, wrong answers on many questions, unable to see pictures clearly. this book should be pulled off of the market. MIC publishes an up to date 12 module review program that sets the standard for the MRI registry. Spend the extra money on that.

This book explains why an answer is right or wrong. 675 questions with explanations. I also bought the purple book & it's garbage compaired to this one. Buy at least 2 books for the registry, including this one.

This book was an excellent tool in preparing for the MRI certifying exam. I found the problems related to scan times especially helpful.

All review books,whether blue,yellow or green are good.The way I did it to prepare me for the MRI test: MIC course,any good cross sectional anatomy book & all the colorful review books you can find.

Excellent study guide to prepare for the ARRT advanced certification exam in MRI.
