MRI Mathematics For Rad Techs

By Sean Shouse

MRI mathematics does not have to feel intimidating.

Whether you are preparing for a certification examination, learning MRI physics for the first time, or trying to make more confident decisions at the scanner console, this practical guide helps you understand the numbers behind magnetic resonance imaging.

MRI Mathematics for Rad Techs builds your skills progressively-from foundational arithmetic and algebra to the calculations used in image formation, protocol optimization, safety, and clinical practice.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Apply the Larmor equation and calculate resonance frequency at different field strengthsWork confidently with TR, TE, TI, flip angles, and scan-time formulasCalculate field of view, matrix size, pixel dimensions, voxel volume, and slice thicknessUnderstand k-space, sampling, gradients, bandwidth, and Fourier-transform conceptsEvaluate signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, resolution, and acquisition trade-offsSolve parallel-imaging, acceleration-factor, contrast-dosing, and SAR calculationsStrengthen certification-exam performance through practice problems, case studies, and quantitative test-taking strategiesQuickly review essential equations using the formula-reference appendices

Instead of presenting formulas as isolated facts to memorize, Sean Shouse connects each calculation to realistic imaging decisions. Worked examples, chapter summaries, clinical scenarios, and focused practice problems help you understand not only which equation to use, but why it works.
