This fourth editioncaptures recent advances, and coverage includes: parallel imagingtechniques and new sequences such as balanced gradient echo.Building on the success of the first three editions, the fourthedition has been fully revised and updated. The book now comes witha companion website at www.wiley.com/go/mriinpracticewhich hosts animated versions of a selection of illustrations inthe book that are used on the MRI in Practice Course.These animations and accompanying text are aimed at helping thereader's comprehension of some of the more difficultconcepts. The website also hosts over 200 interactiveself-assessment exercises to help the reader test theirunderstanding.MRI in Practice features:* Full color illustrations* Logical presentation of the theory and applications of MRI* A new page design* A companion website at www.wiley.com/go/mriinpracticefeaturing interactive multiple choice questions, short answerquestions PLUS animations of more complex concepts from thebookFor more information on the MRI in Practice Course andother learning resources by Westbrook and Talbot, please visit www.mrieducation.com
