The "Handbook of Magnetic Resonance Imaging" provides a comprehensive overview of the principles of Magnetic Resonance (MR) and explains the physics of MR, patient positioning, and imaging protocols in a reader-friendly format. The first five chapters of the book introduce the reader to the basics of MR imaging and include the principle of relaxation, pulse sequences, and imaging parameters and options.

The second part of the book (chapters 6-11) utilizes extensive graphs, images, and protocol tables to explain techniques and methods for achieving optimal imaging quality, while ensuring patient safety. Independent chapters are dedicated to each major anatomical region, including the central, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems. Using annotated MR images and examples of patient positioning in examinations, along with correlation to protocol templates and parameters, the Handbook of Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a practical source of information for MR imaging, which can be used by professionals in their daily practice, as well as by students to learn the basic principles of MR imaging.
