Written by internationally eminent experts in cardiovascular imaging,
this volume provides state-of-the-art information on the use of MRI
and CT in the assessment of cardiac and vascular diseases. This
Second Edition reflects recent significant advances in cardiovascular
MRI technology and the emergence of multi-detector CT as an important
diagnostic modality, particularly for ischemic heart disease.
New chapters in this edition cover coronary CTA and plaque
characterization. A brand-new interventional MR section covers
catheter tracking and devices, endovascular interventions, MR-guided
cardiac catheterization, and endovascular delivery of gene and stem
cell therapy. More than 900 illustrations present diagnostic
information in unprecedented detail.
