Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Physical Principles and Sequence Design – Hardcover
For those with a background in math, this is an excellent read. This book is an excellent and complete book on introduction to the fundamental workings of the MRI.
The authors have not assumed that the reader has a science background, which makes for an easily digested book.
This book provides a synoptic introduction to the basic fundamental principles of MRI for medical physicists, radiologists,biochemists, and students. It addresses basic NMR principles, basic imaging concepts,
The math presented is not at such an advanced level the reader cannot follow it. This book is considered by many to be the best book on the MRI available and one that should be purchased.
How does MRI Work?: An Introduction to the Physics and Function of Magnetic Resonance Imaging – Paperback by Dominik Weishaupt, Victor D. Koechli, and Borut Ma
This book is a great book for those who are comfortable with the workings of physics and very unfamiliar with MRI.
Some chapters were difficult to understand, because of the inherent complication of the subject, but for the most part this is an excellent reference book to carry along when commuting to and from work or school.
A definite must read reference guide for both the student and advanced technician.
Highly recommended.
Lippincott’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging Review – Paperback by Gregory L. Wheeler and Kathryn E Withers
For those studying for the A.R.R.T. exam this book is chocked full of questions, easily understood explanations and answers.
It also has an excellent practice test. Some material found in this book is dated but overall it is an excellent study guide.
There are questions found in this book that are not found in MRI practice books.
The practice examination questions are divided into sections just like the board exams, a great aid for the student to become comfortable with the testing atmosphere.
Once again - highly recommended and required reading on many courses.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain and Spine (2 Volume Set) – Hardcover
Very readable, well-organized text, with high quality images and pathological correlation.
For the most part a very readable text except for some areas where high levels of physics presented is too much for the average neuroradiologist to understand.
This book has a lot of information with a section that is very extensive on the spine and treatments of the spine.
Signal Processing for Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (Signal Processing and Communications) – Hardcover
This book does not have a lot of reviews available but the one review found says the main focus of this book is on MRI imaging and has basic information on the many different aspects of MRI signal processing.
As good as the information provided is on MRI signal processing it does not provide enough on parallel imaging.
