Hello everyone,

My name is Tara and I am a new member to this forum. I am training to become an MRI technologist and am asking for some help. Does anyone know any good websites or books to buy for beginners? I am overwhelmed with all the information and physics involved in this modality. I have been searching on google, but haven't found good sources. Thanks any input will be highly appreciated!

Tara

Try a google for MRI Books, you'll get a lot of training books I did!!

Also try this free online tutorial at: The Basics of MRI

Hope this helps Wink

Hello Wayne and good luck in your studies. You are picking a very good field to go into. I would like to give you a little advice. Concentrate your efforts now on becoming a Rad Tech. Become a good Rad tech and know your anatomy. Then when the time comes, you can begin your MRI training. I have several books that I would be willing to sell that I had in school. I was a Rad Tech for 10 yrs before stepping into MRI.

ph0bolus.....The more math and science that you can take would be benefitial in the acceptance of a program. When I went to Radiology School (1992), the more science and math you had, the better chance of getting into the program. My Radiology Program was hospital based though. All programs are different. Focus some attention on anatomy so you will be prepared for certain body parts you never knew existed. Some Radiology Programs are an Associate Degree, and others are a Certificate. Check with the particular program that you are interested in and look at the prerequisites that are needed and focus on them.
Some work places allow Registered Radiology Techs to cross-train in MRI and gain there MRI Registry in that way, others hire only registered experienced MRI Techs. The MRI Program that I went to was in North Carolina, and the only prerequisite was an ARRT in Radiology. It was a 6 month course consisting of 5 weeks of Physics (not college Physics), and a 16 week hands on training in MRI under the guidance of a Registered MRI Tech. Once all my clinicals were met, I was able to sit for the MRI Registry.
Check with the college/institution that you are wanting to attend that offers the program of your choice and see what the requirements are.

Keep in touch
