Despite the syntax errors, it is cery clear that the author understands his subject matter very well. He presents it very lucidly. One can read books that provide greater detail, but this little book is an absolute treasure. I have been handing them out like candy. Anna K. Chacko MD

After reading the short excerpt from this book it is clear, that although the author has attempted to explain MRI physics simply, the text contains several fundamental errors. For example the statement " randomly moving protons align and spin in the direction of the external magnetic field" is not correct. The protons do not align with the external field - the magnetic moments of the protons align (not the protons themselves). The axis of rotation is not the proton as stated in the excerpt but the magnetic moment of the proton. The statement " forces of protons now add up to form a new magnetic vector in the transverse plane" is also incorrect. The net magnetisation will be orientated transversely if the +z and -z forces are balanced and a therefore a new magnetic vector is not created.

If there are this many errors in this short excerpt that covers the most basic subjects, then I can only assume that there are likely to be more errors in the more difficult areas such as pulse sequences. The poor English aside, I can see little point in buying this book as there are plenty of others covering the same material accurately.

quite useful but has too many spelling mistakes. its practical and yes its its made easy but with alot of spelling mistakes.....!!

We bought this book and found out that about half way thru the pages started over and then skipped around. So we don't know what pages we are missing. We bought another one to see if it's all the books or just this one. I really started to getting to understand MRI only to realize the book was incomplete. jc

I like this book, it's pretty good, however, I like the same size book, also with a cd-rom titled "Step by Step MRI" much better.

The title says it all. Seller did what they stated. Only drawback is the author's language/grammar difficulties.

Who edited this book? There are typo's all over the place, poor grammer, etc. No a very useful book either for the subject matter.
