DESCRIPTION

Today’s MRI technologists regularly perform exams that range from the most fundamental to the most complex. Boyd’s Comprehensive Guide to MRI provides accurate and reliable reference materials that will be an invaluable asset to beginning and experienced technologists alike. Doug Boyd packs a career’s worth of MRI expertise into this slim volume. In addition to concise and quickly identifiable visual references, the protocols can be immediately implemented. Techs of all experience levels will benefit from Doug’s clinical notes, which highlight various aspects of daily scanning that can be easily overlooked or forgotten.

This reliable resource for every MRI environment includes:

  • a description of the immense responsibilities that MRI techs face each day, in terms that corporate and administrative personnel can understand;
  • information to guide the study of future MRI techs, including important aspects of the intersection between physics and cross-sectional anatomy;
  • essential study and protocol data in an easy-to-access format, to help students quickly acclimate to known exams; and
  • a comprehensive section on MRI safety.

Forward

I am excited to share Boyd’s Comprehensive Guide to MRI with my MRI technologist colleagues, students, and professionals in the field.

My career in MRI has spanned more than 30 years, and I have found this specialized field to be deeply rewarding. I began working on Boyd’s Comprehensive Guide to MRI around the turn of the millennium. My career has taken me from MRI technologist to MRI supervisor to educator and, in that time, I have maintained a passion and an avid curiosity for the technical and procedural advancements that drive this amazing field.

I hope that you enjoy this manual as much as I have enjoyed creating it. Comments and feedback are always welcome and will be considered in future versions.
