Best selling text which has a proven reputation for being helpful to those beginning to work with cardiac CT. Updated with 64-slice technology. Provides the basic information necessary to understanding cardiac CT. Fast computed tomography (CT) was introduced as a tool for non-invasive identification of coronary pathological findings in the early 1990s. Since then, significant advances in CT technology have occurred, the most notable being the recent introduction of fast spiral CT coronary imaging. CT coronary imaging is now already entering a phase of clinical acceptance and the rapid anticipated technical advances foster great hopes that non-invasive CT coronary imaging will become an alternative to conventional diagnostic coronary angiography. However, most cardiologists and radiologists are not acquainted with CT coronary imaging, and it is this that has inspired the compilation of this work. An important resource, Computed Tomography of the Coronary Arteries is the culmination of a collaboratedeffort from cardiologists and radiologists to draw up a practical CT book explaining the basic principles and applications of CT by use of many illustrations and tables. Clearly presented and highly illustrated, it achieves its goal of being a concise, quick reference for the understanding and interpretation of CT coronary imaging.
