Mri Guide for Technologists: A Step by Step Approach

The book includes chapters on MRI Physics, Patient
preparation, four glossaries and head to foot instructions on how to perform an
MRI scan.

The handbook is geared to the practicing MRI
technologist and student MRI technologists.

The handbook was written as training tool for the
student MRI technologist and as a reference handbook for the practicing MRI
Technologist. The book is not a textbook, but rather a daily reference tool to
supplement a bona-fide course of study along with an appropriate amount of
clinical training. It is expected that practicing MRI technologists can use
this handbook well after a training program is completed.

The approach is quite practical in that an
individual with appropriate clinical experience can perform scans of any
anatomy. It is comprehensive in that it takes into account virtually every MRI
examination performed.

The handbook depends on illustrations to convey the
subject matter. The images used are actual images from MRI examinations which
demonstrate 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 approach
to the material. The handbook begins with preliminary sections. Sections on
scanning using a step-by-step Cook Book approach, from the tools to use, the
landmarks to identify and the protocols to be used follow, and are the crux of
the handbook. The Illustrations bring it all together so that the reader can
identify the expected end result.
