MRI Physics for Radiologists, Alfred L. Horowitz

I am currently a Fellow in Cardiovascular Imaging with prior training in Cardiology. I have read numerous textbooks on MRI especially cardiac MRI. So far this is the very best introductory textbook with clear concepts and simple explanation of complex physical principles. Within a few pages the author has done a marvelous job of taking the reader from simple physics to explanation of image formation. The figures are incredibly easy to visualize. This book should be on an essential redaing list of all who are interested in gaining an understanding of MRI principles. This book provides a platform that one can build on with further reading. I only hope the author comes out with a newer edition.

An excellent primer, and not just for radiologists

Written in a straightforward style, this little book effectively demystifies MRI and provides the best single introduction to the principles of MRI for non-physicists. Should be required reading for anyone interested in neuroimaging.
