Das Werk MRI Physics: Tech to Tech Explanations soll angehenden MRT-Spezialisten und Strahlentherapeuten, die sich auf die Prüfungen zur MRT-Zertifizierung vorbereiten, dabei helfen, schwierige Konzepte und Themen schnell und einfach zu verstehen. Der nützliche Leitfaden wurde von einem sehr erfahrenen Technologen verfasst und erklärt in einer klaren und leserfreundlichen Weise, was jeder MRT-Spezialist wissen muss. Zu den Themen des Buchs zählen Sicherheitsaspekte im Zusammenhang mit Magnetfeld und Hochfrequenz, Pulssequenzen, Artefakte, MRT-Mathematik, die besonders schwierigen Gradienten und IV-Kontrastmittel.* Grundlegende Hinweise zu Sicherheitsfragen, Protokolloptionen, kritischem Denken und Bildkontrastoptimierung
* Einfache Darstellung des anspruchsvollen Themas MRT-Physik durch klare Sprache und verständliche Erklärungen
* Prüfungsrelevante Inhalte für die Prüfungen der American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARTT) und Continuing Qualifications Requirements (CQR)
* Mit zahlreichen Illustrationen und Fotos zu verschiedenen MRT-Konzepten, Pulssequenz-Design, Artefakten und der Anwendung der Konzepte im klinischen Umfeld
From the Back Cover
MRI PHYSICS
TECH TO TECH EXPLANATIONS
Technologists must have a solid understanding of the physics behind Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), including safety, the hows and whys of the quantum physics of the MR phenomenon, and how to competently operate MRI scanners. Generating the highest quality images of the human body involves thorough knowledge of scanner hardware, pulse sequences, image contrast, geometric parameters, and tissue suppression techniques.
MRI Physics: Tech to Tech Explanations is designed to help student MRI technologists and radiotherapists preparing for Advanced MRI certification examinations to better understand difficult concepts and topics in a quick and easy manner.
Written by a highly experienced technologist, this useful guide provides clear and reader-friendly coverage of what every MR Technologist needs to know. Topics include safety considerations associated with the magnetic field and RF, pulse sequences, artifacts, MRI math, the much-feared gradients, and I.V. contrast.
- Provides basic guidance on safety considerations, protocols options, critical thinking, and image contrast optimization
- Simplifies the challenging topic of MRI physics using straightforward language and clear explanations
- Covers content for American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) and Continuing Qualifications Requirements (CQR) exams
- Features numerous illustrations and photographs of various MRI concepts, pulse sequence design, artifacts, and the application of concepts in clinical settings
MRI Physics: Tech to Tech Explanations is a must-have resource for the experienced and training MRI technologist, medical students, and radiology residency rotations.
