About this book

This compendium of cardiac CT angiographic cases is a sampling of the breadth of real-world cases encountered in a busy practice with examples of pathology and normal variants. Dr. Claudio Smuclovisky has assimilated the key image ?ndings from cardiac CT and coupled these with comp- mentary imaging documentation and key clinical history pieces that de?ne the diagnosis of each case. These cases include not only coronary artery anatomy, anomalies, and pathology but also thoracic and cardiac ano- lies and pathology encountered when performing cardiac CT angiography. Importantly, these cases serve as examples that enhance the educational experience for less-experienced interpreters, while providing a reference for more-experienced imagers. Documented within are also many unusual ?ndings not routinely encountered in a low-volume practice. Experience and exposure to the breadth of cardiac anatomic variants and disease p- cesses are a major component of building an imaging fund of knowledge. Cases of congenital heart disease, for example (less frequently enco- tered in the adult population), have important clinical and prognostic value that require communication to the referring physician. These attributes may not be fully characterized or may be missed if the CT angiography (CTA) imager is only focused on the coronary arteries and not the entire set of images. This compendium will widen the exposure of new interpreters and also serve as a reference when dif?cult cases are encountered.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book, in its 151 page case-based layout, is intended to present the reader with an overview of possible results in the field of coronary artery CT angiography (CCTA). … Images are of the highest quality, easily understandable … . This is an atlas which will be much appreciated by radiologists, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons as well as by trainees starting work and study in this field.” (Giampiero Beluffi, La radiologia medica, Vol. 118, 2013)

“This is an interesting potpourri of cardiac CT cases that will be particularly useful to those who have low case volumes and may not have encountered some of the rarer pathologic entities. … The author’s attempt to allow readers insight into his teaching file is certainly successful and will help the less experienced CT user to get exposure to an interesting collection of ‘real world cases encountered in a busy clinical practice.’” (Suhny Abbara, Radiology, Vol. 258 (3), March, 2011)
