The New Edition of this popular, practical resource offers a lucid introduction to the principles of MRI, explaining in plain language the general principles of magnetism and nuclear magnetic resonance induction, and how this phenomenon can be used to generate and manipulate images for clinical use. A wealth of high-quality illustrations, complemented by concise text, enable readers to gain a solid understanding without requiring in-depth knowledge of physics and mathematics. And, each lists of essential points at the end of each chapter enable readers to test and hone their knowledge.
