Contains the experiences of several opinion leaders in the fields of radiology and cardiology. This book describes the technologic innovations regarding MDCT as well as their impact on the indications of the technique and daily clinical practice. It is suitable for both radiologists and cardiologists.
Since the introduction of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), noninvasive imaging of the heart has become a clinical reality. In a few short years a revolution has taken place which has seen validation studies give way to clinical studies alongside a steady increase in the diffusion of MDCT systems. Meanwhile many hospitals have embraced 64-slice-CT technology and are beginning to clinically implement the technique. This new frontier offers innovative solutions, but at the same time it also raises new clinical questions.Because of the complexity of the topic and the technology described, radiologic and cardiologic skills need to be merged to achieve the required diagnostic standard. This volume contains the experiences of several opinion leaders in the fields of radiology and cardiology. The topics are described from a number of viewpoints, giving readers the widest possible understanding of all the issues based on their respective scientific backgrounds. The most recent technologic innovations regarding MDCT as well as their impact on the current indications of the technique and daily clinical practice are also described.
The book will therefore prove an invaluable tool for both radiologists and cardiologists alike.
