5.0 out of 5 stars Elster's Q & A on MRI, 2nd Ed., May 28, 2001

This is an outstanding book for the beginner and intermediate level student of MRI. The book provides understandable, yet much more in depth explanations of basic physics and gives intuitive insights into mechanisms which I have not found in other presentations. Also, the references at the bottom of each question are superb, often with commentary on their special value. Some excellent web sites are given which I had not found by search engine. The authors clearly devoted tremendous effort to this book to make it as good as it could be and they were successful. This book is a paradigm for presenting highly technical topics in an understandable way - very impressive, and highly recommended to anyone learning MRI.

This is a great source of information for all those involved in MRI practice. The authors give concise, readable, and even sometimes interesting answers to the most commonly asked questions pertaining to this complex subject, without unnecessary simplification. Both authors should be commended on a job well done. This beats the competition hands down!

I used the first ed. of this book to study for my MR registry exam & found it most helpful in understanding pulse sequences & MRI physics. The author(s) answer the questions in concise, easy to understand jargon that won't confuse the student, yet is technical enough for experienced technologist's to benefit. The second ed. is a continuation of this tried & true method of teaching & I most certainly would recommend this book, especially for anyone that is just learning MRI or getting ready to sit for the registry exam.
