MRI Technique Explained

By Mack Drew

MRI becomes far easier to master when you understand why each sequence, parameter, positioning decision, and protocol works-not when you simply memorize what buttons to press.MRI TECHNIQUE EXPLAINED gives you that understanding. Built specifically for technologists and developing imaging professionals, this practical guide connects the physics of magnetic resonance directly to the decisions you make at the scanner.
Inside, you'll learn how to: Understand MRI physics from nuclear spin and resonance through gradients, k-space, and image reconstructionDistinguish spin echo, gradient echo, FLAIR, STIR, diffusion, perfusion, MRA, and other important sequence familiesAdjust TR, TE, TI, flip angle, FOV, matrix, slice thickness, bandwidth, and acceleration with purposeBalance resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and scan time instead of relying on trial and errorRecognize common MRI artifacts and understand the technical changes that can reduce themApply MRI safety principles to screening, implants, RF heating, contrast agents, emergencies, and patient careWork through practical positioning and protocol considerations for brain, spine, upper and lower extremities, abdomen, pelvis, cardiac, vascular, and breast MRIAcross 30 progressively organized chapters, the book moves from first principles to real clinical application, with chapter summaries and worked explanations designed to connect technical concepts to everyday scanning practice.
Whether you're building your MRI foundation, expanding your radiologic experience, preparing for professional development, or simply want a dependable reference beside your clinical training, this book helps turn complicated MRI concepts into decisions you can actually understand.Build the technical confidence behind better MRI scanning-get your copy today.
