Synopsis

Multislice technology has made it possible to investigate large sections of the human body in a very short time. The 4- and 16-row systems currently available necessitate the use of new protocols, which are proposed herein. In a convenient double-page layout, this book provides structured information on all routine protocols to be used for multislice CT. The volume covers all investigations of the brain, neck, lung and chest, abdomen and the periphery, as well as special protocols for the heart, for CT angiography and for CT-guided interventions. Each protocol is displayed en bloc, enabling rapid appreciation of the scanner settings and the indications.

Review

"In summary, this is an excellent monograph to introduce the basic protocols regarding multi-section CT ... Anyone who is working in this area would benefit from this text." (Radiology, 2004)

"If you want to perform high quality CT studies, this is the book for you." (RAD Magazine, 2003)

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This is an excellent introduction to protocols for multislice CT. ... There is a particularly useful introduction on the technical aspects of multislice scanning. ... The books is beautifully illustrated with superb tables dealing with protocols ... . Chapters are extensively referenced. The book is well designed and will serve as an excellent guide for all CT departments. It should be a required reference text in CT scanning units." (A. K. Banerjee, RAD Magazine, June, 2006)

"This volume published by Springer is essentially an English version of the successful Italian authored ‘Emergency Neuro-radiology’. ... This book is profusely illustrated with excellent scans and some nice diagrams. ... The chapters are extensively referenced and up-to-date and the book will be read profitably by many practising radiologists who need to brush up on their knowledge of emergency neuroimaging." (A. K. Banerjee, RAD Magazine, June, 2006)
