PRACTICAL TEXTBOOK OF CARDIAC CT AND MRI

- Guide to the interpretation of cardiac CT and MRI for the purposes of diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up
- Emphasis on applications in a wide range of real clinical situations
- Numerous informative illustrations
- Summarizing sections permitting rapid retrieval of information
This up-to-date textbook comprehensively reviews all aspects of cardiac CT and MRI and demonstrates the value of these techniques in clinical practice. A wide range of applications are considered, including imaging of atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, coronary revascularization, ischemic heart disease, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, cardiac tumors, and pericardial disease. The numerous high-quality images illustrate how to interpret cardiac CT and MRI correctly for the purposes of diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up. Helpful summarizing sections in every chapter will facilitate rapid retrieval of information. This book will be of great value to radiologists and cardiologists seeking a reliable guide to the optimal use of cardiac CT and MRI in real clinical situations.
