Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful medical technology that uses magnetic fields to create detailed images of the body. MRI technologists must have a solid understanding of the physics behind MRI, including safety, the quantum physics of the MR phenomenon, and how to competently operate MRI scanners.

Generating the highest quality images of the human body involves thorough knowledge of scanner hardware, pulse sequences, image contrast, geometric parameters, and tissue suppression techniques. MRI Physics: Tech to Tech Explanations is designed to help student MRI technologists and radiotherapists preparing for Advanced MRI certification examinations to better understand difficult concepts and topics in a quick and easy manner.

Written by a highly experienced technologist, this useful guide provides clear and reader-friendly coverage of what every MR Technologist needs to know. Topics include safety considerations associated with the magnetic field and RF, pulse sequences, artifacts, MRI math, the much-feared gradients, and I.V. contrast.

Provides basic guidance on safety considerations, protocols options, critical thinking, and image contrast optimization. Simplifies the challenging topic of MRI physics using straightforward language and clear explanations. Covers content for American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) and Continuing Qualifications Requirements (CQR) exams. Features numerous illustrations and photographs of various MRI concepts, pulse sequence design, artifacts, and the application of concepts in clinical settings.

MRI Physics: Tech to Tech Explanations is a must-have resource for the experienced and training MRI technologist, medical students, and radiology residency rotations.
