Magnetic resonance imaging is a complex yet invaluable imaging technique that relies on magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals. Aimed at students beginning their journey in radiography, this book introduces fundamental MRI concepts such as image formation, pulse sequences, patient safety, and common artifacts. It simplifies technical principles while connecting them to clinical practices across different body systems.
Rowan Baxter is known for his clear, foundational teaching in MRI principles tailored for beginner radiography students.
