Dr. Callaghan's work over the past 15 years has been instrumental in developing microscopic applications of NMR imaging. In this text, he expands on the seminal papers that he has published in the field and brings them together into a coherent whole. The veiwpoint of the book is that of a physicist with a powerful tool looking at physical and biological problems. Of the many texts on MR imaging I believe Dr Callaghan's description of MR physics to be most clear and complete. This book is recommened for physicists and engineers interested in NMR microscopy of course. However I would go on and recommend it for any serious student of MRI wanting a single volume that has a clear description of the fundamental phenomena at work in forming their images.

Excellent book for learning the principles of imaging. I initially tried learning from the book by Mansfield and Morris and found it rather unfocused and unclear. Callaghan's book is clear, focused and very understandable.

Wow, I can't believe they are charging $99 for a softcover!! I bought this book 4 years ago for about $45 brand new, and now the price is doubled! No doubt this is a very good and useful book to learn the classical theory of NMR in a materials sciences context. NMR diffusion and the formalism of diffusion/flow propagators is clearly explained and should be useful to anyone learning the subject for the first time, or re-learning old forgotten topics.

I've got the book in perfect shape. There was a problem with my order but the Amazon people fix it quickly.
