Klappentext ** New revised second edition now available, with errors corrected and content fully updated ** The second edition of the classic text has been revised and extended to meet the needs of today's practising and training MRI technologists who intend to sit for the American Registry of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists (ARMRIT) examination. It provides Q&As on topics listed in the content specifications offered by the American Registry for Radiologic Technologists (AART) and offers the user with a comprehensive review of the principles and applications of MRI to prepare them for the examination. "This is a great tool that MRI technologists could use as a trial run for the examination. This is the best type of review book, since it mimics the format of the actual exam. It also would be helpful for seasoned MRI technologists who want to remain fresh in this ever-advancing field." ( Doody's , 5 July 2013) Zusammenfassung * Bestselling text for Magnetic Resonance Imaging has been revised and updated to reflect new ARRT guidelines for the MRI boards * Offers students a comprehensive review of the principles and applications of MRI to prepare them for the examination.
