When retired it is a blessing if one has not become too tired by the strain of one's professional career. In the case of our retired engineer and scientist Rinus Vlaardingerbroek, however, this is not only a blessing for him person ally, but also a blessing for us in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging as he has chosen the theory of MRI to be the work-out exercise to keep himself in intellectual top condition. An exercise which has worked out very well and which has resulted in the consolidated and accessible form of the work of reference now in front of you. This work has become all the more lively and alive by illustrations with live images which have been added and analysed by clinical scientist Jacques den Boer. We at Philips Medical Systems feel proud of our comakership with the authors in their writing of this book. It demonstrates the value we share with them, which is "to achieve clinical superiority in MRI by quality and imagination" . During their careers Rinus Vlaardingerbroek and Jacques den Boer have made many contributions to the superiority of Philips MRI Systems. They have now bestowed us with a treasure offering benefits to the MRI community at large and thereby to health care in general: a much needed non-diffuse textbook to help further advance the diffusion of MRI.

From the reviews of the third edition:
"In summary the book treats almost all ingredients of MRI, generally at a good level with excellent illustrations and relevant bibliographic references and it does probably represent the best monograph devoted to the subject available today." (Physicalia, 25/2, 2003)
"The book can be recommended to specialists in medical physics who are involved in the use and research of magnetic resonance imaging." (European Radiology, 13/7, 2003)
"The treatment is mathematically detailed throughout but the inclusion of over 100 well annotated real images and example calculations reward the hard work needed with a very clear understanding of precisely how the different methods work and the extent of their limitations." (Contemporary Physics 2004, 45, page 441)
"Magnetic Resonance Imaging is still clearly intended as a book for the specialist but I think the third edition makes the material accessible to the beginning student ... as very reliable reference. ... the inclusion of over 100 well annotated real images and example calculations reward the hard work needed with a very clear understanding of precisely how the different methods work and the extent of their limitations. Since 1996 the book has certainly been my authority on MRI." (Dr. C. N. Guy, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 45 (5), 2004)
"The authors have undertaken the task to develop a coherent theoretical description of MRI, which can serve as a background for thorough understanding of recent and future developments in magnetic resonance imaging. ... the book can be recommended to specialists in medical physics who are involved in the use and research of magnetic resonance imaging." (European Radiology, Vol. 13 (7), 2003)
"This book is devoted to a comprehensive introduction to MR Imaging physics ... . The book is organised in chapters devoted to a unified topic and accompanied by illustrations. ... the book treats almost allingredients of MRI, generally at a good level with excellent illustrations and relevant bibliographic references and its does probably represent the best monograph devoted to the subject available today." (Thierry Metens, Physicalia, Vol. 25 (2), 2003)
