Practical MR Physics is an excellent addition to any department's library. The physics of MR are addressed in clear concise terms and presented in an understandable format. What really sets this text apart is the authors approach to imaging artifacts. Through real world case presentations, the readers are educated about the artifacts encountered, their underlying causation, and methods for elimination. I have added this book to my recommended reading list for MRI Students, and also recommend it as a valuable resource for practicing technologists.
