As a soon-to-be interventional pain fellow I need to be solid in my ability to read, understand, and interpret MRI imaging, especially of the spine. This book is providing that for me. I've just recently purchased it and have gone through a few chapters. It's easy to read and understand and is providing just the right amount of information. It nails down key points and common findings and simplifies the learning process in a step-like fashion. I like that the images are clear and that normal ones are compared to varying degrees of abnormal ones. It has definitely strengthened my ability to recognize MRI findings, especially the degenerative ones that are ubiquitous in the world of pain. I find that I pick up almost all, if not all, abnormalities that are written on the radiology report. I also like that I now understand when to use the different pulse sequences to help confirm different findings. Definitely an excellent resource and one that every pain doc or anyone who wants to have a better understanding of reading MRIs should be required to own. I'm really looking forward to going through the rest of the book.
