Since the first edition was published in 1993, MRI inPractice has become the standard text for radiographers,technologists, radiology residents, radiologists and even salesrepresentatives on the subject of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).This text is essential reading on undergraduate and postgraduateMRI courses. Furthermore MRI in Practice has come to beknown as the number one reference book and study guide in the areasof MR instrumentation, principles, pulse sequences, imageacquisition, and imaging parameters for the advanced levelexamination for MRI offered by the American Registry for RadiologicTechnologists (ARRT) in the USA.

The book explains in clear terms the theory that underpinsmagnetic resonance so that the capabilities and operation of MRIsystems can be fully appreciated and maximised. This fourth editioncaptures recent advances, and coverage includes: parallel imagingtechniques and new sequences such as balanced gradient echo.

Building on the success of the first three editions, the fourthedition has been fully revised and updated. The book now comes witha companion website at www.wiley.com/go/mriinpracticewhich hosts animated versions of a selection of illustrations inthe book that are used on the MRI in Practice Course.These animations and accompanying text are aimed at helping thereader’s comprehension of some of the more difficultconcepts. The website also hosts over 200 interactiveself-assessment exercises to help the reader test theirunderstanding.

MRI in Practice features:

• Full color illustrations
• Logical presentation of the theory and applications of MRI
• A new page design
• A companion website at www.wiley.com/go/mriinpracticefeaturing interactive multiple choice questions, short answerquestions PLUS animations of more complex concepts from thebook
