MRI Physics For Rad Techs

By: Shouse, Sean

MRI physics does not have to feel like a maze of equations, unfamiliar terminology, and disconnected facts.

MRI Physics for Rad Techs gives you a structured, clinically grounded path from the behavior of hydrogen protons to the production of diagnostic images. Written for radiography students, MRI students, practicing technologists, and certification candidates, it transforms difficult concepts into knowledge you can apply at the scanner and recall under pressure.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Understand nuclear spin, magnetization, resonance, and the Larmor equation from first principlesConnect T1, T2, T2*, TR, TE, and flip angle to image contrastFollow the MRI signal from RF excitation through detection and reconstructionMake sense of gradients, spatial encoding, Fourier transformation, and k-spaceCompare spin echo, gradient echo, inversion recovery, and fast imaging techniquesRecognize common artifacts and understand how scan parameters affect image qualityExplore magnet hardware, RF coils, receiver systems, and scanner instrumentationStrengthen your understanding of MRI safety, screening, implants, contrast agents, and emergency proceduresReview essential concepts quickly with chapter summaries, appendices, reference guides, and a detailed glossary

Across 298 carefully organized pages, each topic builds logically on what came before. The result is more than a collection of facts: it is a working understanding of why MRI behaves the way it does.

Whether you are preparing for a certification examination, beginning your MRI education, or refreshing the knowledge you use in clinical practice, this book will help you approach the scanner with greater clarity and confidence.
