Acknowledgments and Advice
This one’s for you Mom.
Again I have to say Thank you to my wonderful wife Suzanne for her patience and understanding while I wrote a Registry Review on the heels of MR Physics book.
Next, thank you to Alicia Webb R.T.R.(MR) my friend, and colleague for her artistic talents in drawing all the illustrations in this text book. You were a great help in drawing the different illustrations that are hard to find, image, or otherwise display. Thanks Allie!!
