Reddit reviews MRI in Practice

MRI in Practice by Catherine Westbrook is, by far, the easiest read to understand MRI. It is also the best priced book for MRI studies.

http://www.iacionline.net/ is a great quiz site, but you do have to pay for an account. A few of us got together and split $ for an account.

You may want to brush up on your sectional anatomy and pathology along with the textbook.

And you may want to check the requirements for the exam - it seems like ARRT may add on more stuff:

> Beginning January 1, 2016, candidates must also document completion of 16 hours of structured education. Learn more about ARRT’s education requirements.

I took my registry in August 2013, and I recall that there was a lot of pelvis anatomy (female/male), calculcating phase/matrix/ETL. The test won't tell you if a particular parameter is T1/T2 weighted, so you'll have to look at the numbers that they give you (figure it out first), then answer the actual questions. Learn the cranial nerves and make sure you know the TE/TR values for white matter, gray matter, blood, CSF, etc.


(Come back and look at this post when you get closer to taking the MR registry.)

I'm not the best at math/physics, so I believe that patient safety, equipment, anatomy and pathology saved me!
