For almost a quarter of a century magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used clinically and while there are more sophisticated approaches in use on a daily basis, neither physician nor researcher would be able to perform what they do today without knowing the basics. A handy guide for those beginning to work in the radiology department, Step by Step MRI provides those just beginning to work or to train in a radiology department with an introductory background as to what is MRI and what can be obtained for the patient's benefit. The accompanying CD helps the learner with the essentials of interpreting an MRI scan.
