This guide for radiology technologists seeks to balance theoretical coverage with instructions for implementation with commercial scanners. The book covers fundamental topics like net magnetization and magnetic resonance, and then provides an overview of pivotal areas, such as imaging techniques, hardware, and applications. Advanced mathematics are kept to a minimum, and illustrations clarify technical concepts. Brown teaches at Siemens Training and Development Center; Semelka teaches radiology at the U. of North Carolina School of Medicine.
