5.0 out of 5 stars Hits the high points!, November 9, 2001

By	Donald Woodward (North Canton, OH USA) - See all my reviews

I have begun recommending this book to both new MRI technologists and seasoned ones. It is written in a comprehensive, yet to the point fashion. It covers all aspects of patient care and has great coverage of each type of MRI exam. Its covers both anatomy and imaging considerations. Excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Carolyn Kaut Roth, October 6, 2002

By	Sarah Carotenuto (Westfield, MA) - See all my reviews

This book is a must for any MRI technologist.
Carolyn Kaut Roth explains things in "english" so you understand.
If you have ever been to her confrences you know what I am talking about. If you have never been, I suggest you go even if you are not an MRI tech, she is GREAT!

4.0 out of 5 stars good for MR registry study, July 6, 2009

By	P. D. Kirkpatrick "analyst of literature" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is refreshingly concise. I have found it helpful as someone studying for the MR Registry. Sometimes it seems to oversimplify technical concepts, but, as it points out in the introduction, this book is designed as a quick-reference study guide to be used in conjunction with more thorough, detailed works.
