MRI Mathematics For Rad Techs

MRI mathematics does not have to feel intimidating.

Whether you are preparing for a certification examination, learning MRI physics for the first time, or trying to make more confident decisions at the scanner console, this practical guide helps you understand the numbers behind magnetic resonance imaging.

MRI Mathematics for Rad Techs builds your skills progressively-from foundational arithmetic and algebra to the calculations used in image formation, protocol optimization, safety, and clinical practice.

Inside, you will learn how to:

• Apply the Larmor equation and calculate resonance frequency at different field strengths
• Work confidently with TR, TE, TI, flip angles, and scan-time formulas
• Calculate field of view, matrix size, pixel dimensions, voxel volume, and slice thickness
• Understand k-space, sampling, gradients, bandwidth, and Fourier-transform concepts
• Evaluate signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, resolution, and acquisition trade-offs
• Solve parallel-imaging, acceleration-factor, contrast-dosing, and SAR calculations
• Strengthen certification-exam performance through practice problems, case studies, and quantitative test-taking strategies
• Quickly review essential equations using the formula-reference appendices

Instead of presenting formulas as isolated facts to memorize, Sean Shouse connects each calculation to realistic imaging decisions. Worked examples, chapter summaries, clinical scenarios, and focused practice problems help you understand not only which equation to use, but why it works.
