MRI Handbook: MR Physics, Patient Positioning, and Protocols 2012th Edition (2012) (PDF) by Muhammed Elmao?lu

Description

MRI Handbook presents a concise review of the physical principles underlying magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), explaining MR physics, patient positioning, and protocols in an easy-to-read format. The first five chapters of the book introduce the reader to the basics of MR imaging, including the relaxation concept, MR pulse sequences, and MR imaging parameters and options. The second part of the book (chapters 6-11) uses extensive illustrations, images, and protocol tables to explain tips and tricks to achieve optimal MR image quality while ensuring patient safety. Individual chapters are devoted to each major anatomic region, including the central nervous, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems. By using annotated MR images and examples of patient positions used during scanning correlated with sample protocols and parameters, MRI Handbook is a practical resource for imaging professionals to use in the course of their daily practice as well as for students to learn the basic concepts of MR imaging.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review From the reviews:“The book is written for radiologists, technologists, research associates, and others who wish to learn MRI. … The book does a good job of describing the physical principles of MRI in a clear and concise manner. It also provides many details for protocols and imaging parameters for various studies. It should serve as a useful reference for those who wish to look up various features of protocols or patient positioning for MRI studies.” (Bennett S.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is now my #1 pick for a both a how-to book as well as a handy reference (second to

⭐). The first unique aspect of this book is the large number of photos of all of the different coils positioned on patients, including pads and the like. Also, this book has the best convention of scan slice prescription screen captures–two localizers are shown, with scan coverage marked, plus sat bands, and then the resultant image is shown. In each section, there is a good discussion of reasons for some of the parameter selections, as well as some tips that the average new tech just wouldn’t think of. Parameters like slice order is mentioned throughout the book (which I haven’t seen in other books), and also parameters like ZIP and sat bands. Pretty much all of the coils in the GE coil suite are shown, at least in the HDx type system. I would guess that coils from the GEM suite should be included in future editions. Certainly, if you have a GE scanner, you should get a copy of this book! Even if you have another scanner, the prescriptions and tables (with some translation) will still be useful!

⭐Recommended book for the new mri students!
