A fantastic book. As a tech, training in this field I found it a very useful resource, answering all my questions and supplying information in an understandable form. MRI is a difficult subject yet this book, which I refer to often, makes sense and clarifies various aspects in a simplified way that I can grasp. The layout and format makes finding information easy, and the concise wording and diagrams makes for ready comprehension. Ms Westbrook has made a signifcant contribution to this field and this book is another example of her knowledge and communication skills. I highly recommend this book to all students of MR imaging.Handbook of MRI TechniqueMRI in Practice (3rd Edition)

Very good book. Info is condensed and more direct than Mri in Practice. Combined they fill all study needs for ARRT certification.
