this is the best mri physics lecture i have stomped upon i had to leave a comment after the random question cause it just reminded me that i watched 13ish minutes without realizing

I am a third-year radiology resident preparing for the core exam now. This is the best physics lecture on MRI that I have seen. I have learned more from your lectures than from reading the war machine chapter. I would love to see more videos from you.

I never write comments. But this is literally the best MRI lecture on Youtube. Thank you so much.

Mri Technologist here for 20 years. I've seen lots of videos TRYING to simplify Mri Physics. This is by far the best of them all. R u sure you're a Radiologist, and not a Physics Professor? 😜Just kidding. Excellent video. Thanks.

[kemmy]

This is such a great lecture - equivalent to reading numerous textbooks. Thank you so much for posting it!

[oxtim]

I'm a nuclear tech starting MRI cross-training. I'm left to teach myself the physics and this video has helped a ton. Thank you

[mancubzavala]

This has to be the best explanation of MRI physics on YT. Thank you!

[marinamartin]

This was great. I am working on my thesis and was having a hard time understanding how MRI works. This video was exactly what I needed.

[lavernesims]

I looked at all 3 parts I’m a MRI Technologist of 17 years, just looking for refresh the basics. Thank you great lecture well explained.

[anniekhan]

Thank you so much for this. I was just not getting the physics part in mri. You made it so easy to understand. God bless ❤

[elliot]

literally the most clear explanation of MRI physics on YT! Thank you for your great video!

[tigerheaddude]

This has been the best source on MRI physics so far. Thank you!

[LisabonMusic]

The Kennedy thing you did should be an example in every textbook on the topic: how to make students remember numbers

[saanihashmi]

The best video for MRI learners....
10/10....

This is an absolutely fantastic introduction to MR. Easy to understand and clinically relevant. Wish I would have come across it during my core review a few months ago.

Best MRI physics EVER. You should expand the topics and build on those videos as is the best attempt to explain a rather complex topic that stops thousands of doctors to understand better that modality.

[kayhan]

Excellent lecture! Hands down and this is coming from a Prof! you nailed it.

[niccomlaja]

its a very good more than books for sure

[brendanforrest]

Best explanation of MRI I have found. Thanks.

[fdoenglish]

Omg 😱 it's the best introduction that I ever see about this topic. Thx so much.
