The book includes chapters on MRI Physics, Patientpreparation, four glossaries and head to foot instructions on how to perform anMRI scan.The handbook is geared to the practicing MRItechnologist and student MRI technologists.The handbook was written as training tool for thestudent MRI technologist and as a reference handbook for the practicing MRITechnologist. The book is not a textbook, but rather a daily reference tool tosupplement a bona-fide course of study along with an appropriate amount ofclinical training. It is expected that practicing MRI technologists can usethis handbook well after a training program is completed.The approach is quite practical in that anindividual with appropriate clinical experience can perform scans of anyanatomy. It is comprehensive in that it takes into account virtually every MRIexamination performed.The handbook depends on illustrations to convey thesubject matter. The images used are actual images from MRI examinations whichdemonstrate anatomy and illustrate the desired outcome of an MRI examination.Color illustrations are provided for diagrams.The main feature of the handbook is in its approachto the material. The handbook begins with preliminary sections. Sections onscanning using a step-by-step “Cook Book” approach, from the tools to use, thelandmarks to identify and the protocols to be used follow, and are the crux ofthe handbook. The Illustrations bring it all together so that the reader canidentify the expected end result.
