The intention of this book is to lead the readers to a fundamental understanding of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Readers should be able to acquire a fundamental knowledge that enables them to pursue studies of their own and to cope with some of the most common problems, such as image contrast and artifacts or questions concerning possible hazards to patients. The first edition of this book was published in 1984 as the primer for European Magnetic Resonance Forum to teach the basics and some of the applications of MR imaging and MR spectroscopy.	Many organizers of other teaching courses and universities the world over have found it valuable for their students. The public reaction to and the reviews of the last edition were extremely positive. The book is very popular with radiologists, cardiologists, medical students and radiographers. As with everything in life, MR imaging does not only require knowledge of facts but also background information for decision making. Therefore in this edition some subjective, critical, and opinion-oriented sections are included, intended to offset the technical nature of the book and provide some insights into more practical questions faced by MR users.

From reviews of former editions: This book is a delight and is already the standard reading for radiologists and radiographers (RAD Magazine, October 1994). In summary, for its intended audience, Magnetic Resonance in Medicine is not only an ideal first text in MR imaging, but it’s a bargain. (Academic Radiology, October 1995).
