The Magnetic Resonance Imaging Manual offers a comprehensive overview of the principles of Magnetic Resonance (MR) and explains the physics of MR, patient positioning, and imaging protocols in a reader-friendly format.

The first five chapters of the book introduce the reader to the basics of MR imaging and cover the principle of relaxation, pulse sequences, and imaging parameters and options.

The second part of the book (chapters 6-11) makes use of extensive charts, images, and protocol tables to explain the techniques and methods by which optimal imaging quality is achieved while ensuring patient safety.

Independent chapters are dedicated to each major anatomical area, including the central, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems.

With the use of annotated MR images and examples of patient positioning for examinations, along with correlations to protocol templates and parameters, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Manual serves as a practical source of information for MR imaging that can be used by professionals during their daily practice, as well as by students to learn the fundamental principles of MR imaging.
