An MRI BibleJust to clarify the record.....Stark & Bradley is a bible of a reference work.....an ultimate resource for those serious about clinical MRI instrumentation and procedures.
Only Edelman's text attempted this feat but it is now out of date and as far as I know, not scheduled for a 2nd edition.Only for referenceI bought this book to learn MRI, but the work is more of an encylopedia than a readable textbook. It contains too much useless information, while the important material is not particularly well written, presented, or organized; for example, the first 300 pages of physics is too often impenetrable and consistently overly theoretical, esp. the parts written by PhD's as opposed to MD's. The chapters are inconsistent in quality, varying from poor to very good. Although the book was supposedly printed in 1999, most of the references are 7-8 years old, the most recent being around 1995; this book is hardly state-of-the-art in its field. It is hard to believe that a book this expensive and in its 3rd edition could have so many typographical errors; did anyone proofread this book? The print is very small, the smallest I've ever seen in a top-of-the-line radiology reference work. On the plus side, it is well illustrated and an outline precedes each chapter.I WANT TO BUY THIS BOOK FOR GIFT TO SOMEONEI ONLY WANT TO BUY VOL NO.3. I WANT TO GIVE IT TO SOMEONE FOR A PRESENT. IF IT'S POSSIBLE HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? |
