5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent intro for readers with some math background,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Physical Principles and Sequence Design (Hardcover)
This book is a welcome introduction for readers who are comfortable with basic differential equations and vector calculus. As an applied mathematician interested in learning the fundamentals of MRI, I had grown quite frustrated with the simplified literature on one hand ("MRI for technologists", "MRI for medical people", "MRI for dummies"...) and the professional literature on the other, which is directed at people already immersed in the study of MR technology. In contrast, this book is an excellent introduction to the subject for applied mathematicians (though this may not have been the intended audience), as it makes no assumptions regarding reader's science background and thus explains thoroughly all relevant E+M, physics and signal processing. But most importantly, it does so without cutting mathematical corners. This results in a far more lucid and logical exposition than books which try to protect the reader for his/her own good.

5.0 out of 5 stars
MRI LAB USE,
By Brian (SLC, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Physical Principles and Sequence Design (Hardcover)
Our labs most used resource in MRI- period. This book is used to answer any questions we encounter about the mechanics of MRI, plus is used in both MRI courses. The first half of the book focuses on basic principles. The second half develops advanced concepts for the advanced technician. Clearly written, durable, and nice large font.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Valuable Resource,
This review is from: Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Physical Principles and Sequence Design (Hardcover)
This text is invaluable for anyone interested in MRI. It is a very good intro to the field, and if you understand this book you have a solid foundation for exploring more modern MRI texts. Up until a few years ago, just about every journal paper in MRI cited this book. When I started grad school for electrical engineering, I went down the bath of medical imaging; I would not have gotten very far without this book.
