Synopsis

Based on advances in scanner and software technology, cardiovascular imaging with Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (CT) is developing into an important clinical diagnostic tool. Combining the in-depth coverage of a text with the diagnostic utility of a manual, this book provides an introduction to the principles of MDCT for cardiovascular applications from the perspective of the CT technologist as well as the physician. Detailed and practical, the "Atlas and Manual of Cardiovascular Multi-detector Computed Tomography": * contains a large number of selected images - the majority of which are acquired with state-of-the-art 16-slice technology * focuses on clinical manifestations of disease, diagnostic criteria and options for management * reviews major anti-arrhythmic drugs and new agents coming into use * discusses clinical applications in comparison with other imaging modalities, thus clarifying the strengths and the limitations of CT in the assessment of specific clinical problems * explores current standard applications such as imaging of the aorta, as well as emerging areas including coronary artery imaging.

Comprehensive and fully up to date, this is an important book for cardiovascular clinicians and technologists using CT imaging technology, cardiac specialists and nurses, and imaging physicists.
