This is a great text to study for the registry. I passed my first time studying only this text. It's very well written and easy (relative term in MRI) to understand. Also, get Meacham's Question/Answer book to accompany this book and you'll be set.

I have been a MRI tech. for the past 12 years and have seen a lot of changes. This book is excellent for the "advanced" MRI tech and for the new MRI technologist looking for easy-to-understand explainations on how/why things work the way they do in the MRI field. I highly recommend this book to techs and referring physicians alike- a definite must-have for any technologist that wants to understand MRI, instead of just being a button-pusher.

I read this book as preparation to become an MR Tech. I have re-read it, since I have become an MR Tech., to prepare for the registry. I find it very technical in some places. It could use more examples pertaining to every day life, instead of "quantum physics". It is however a good reference book to have in the department.

Very easy to understand. Book geared for techs. If you want to
pass the MR registry this book is a must have. GREAT BOOK !!!!!

I purchased a couple of MRI books and none made much sense to me until I read this book. The concepts of MRI physics is complex and hard to understand no matter what book you buy, but this book made it much easier to understand. It is clearly written in a logical format. I recommend the book highly.

MRI In Practice is by far the best physics book to study from for the registry exam. Very well written and easy to understand. I've been an MRI tech for 14 years and I use this book as a reference all the time in my current position of Chief Technologist. If you know this book cover to cover, you should have no trouble passing the physics on the test!

This is a great book for people who do not have a physics background. It's very useful in describing the basics of MRI as well as applications. It's one of my favorites. Everybody in grad school kept borrowing it from me!!

I primarily used this book when studying for my MRI Registry. It covers all aspects of MRI from the basic phsyics to advanced cardiac and vascular imaging. Very informative and easy to read and understand.

It also has great graphics and pictures to reinforce the material being taught.

Not overly technical, easy to read, and not boring. Each topic is discussed clearly. The illustrations are sharp and in color. The chapter on K-space makes it worth the price. If you are only purchasing one textbook for MRI this is a very good choice. Less technical than Lufkin, less entertaining than Bushong; this is overall a very good choice for the technologist, medical student, or physician looking for a good reference on the subject of magnetic resonanace imaging.

This is a good book made great by upgrades in the second edition. I teach MRI in the classroom, and I rate this the best book available for that purpose. It is well written. It is generally easy to understand. It is clearly written by technologists for technologists! The graphics in the new edition are superb!
