About this book

CT is an accurate technique for assessing cardiac structure and function, but advances in computing power and scanning technology have resulted in increased popularity. It is useful in evaluating the myocardium, coronary arteries, pulmonary veins, thoracic aorta, pericardium, and cardiac masses; because of this and the speed at which scans can be performed, CT is even more attractive as a cost-effective and integral part of patient evaluation. This book collates all the current knowledge of cardiac CT and presents it in a clinically relevant and practical format appropriate for both cardiologists and radiologists. The images have been supplied by an experienced set of contributing authors and represent the full spectrum of cardiac CT. As increasing numbers have access to cardiac CT scanners, this book provides all the relevant information on this modality. This is an extensive update of the previous edition bringing the reader up-to-date with the immense amount of updated content in the discipline.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

Hamid Afshar, MD(Ochsner Clinic Foundation) reviewing on Doodys.com

"This text is intended as a comprehensive reference for cardiac CT imaging, and is written by preeminent leaders in the field. This book collates all relevant imaging findings of the use of cardiovascular CT and presents them in a clinically relevant and practical manner. This book highlights, in a systematic approach, the basic concepts and the utilization of CT in a wide array of the possible diagnoses such as evaluating coronary arteries, myocardium, peripheral arteries, pulmonary veins, aorta, pericardium and cardiac masses. The editors succeed in providing a comprehensive and well illustrated review of Cardiac CT and it's utilization in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. The book proves that Cardiac CT has not only arrived but has become a very valuable diagnostic tool. This book is an excellent addition to the library of cardiologist, radiologist and vascular medicine physicians.

"Weighted Numerical Score: 92 - 4 Stars!"

“The Springer Cardiac CT Imaging App provides the user with a complete series of CT orientation images taken in each plane: axial, sagittal, and coronal. It also provides a series of coronary artery calcium images. All are designed to assist the cardiac CT user orientate themselves to the anatomy of the heart. The images have been supplied by an experienced set of contributing authors and are designed to assist the cardiac CT user orientate themselves to the anatomy of the heart images.” (BMA Medical Book Awards, September, 2011)
