Multislice CT Principles and Protocols

Description
A team of international experts provides a hands-on, evidence-based
overview of the latest clinical applications of multislice computed
tomography. Each chapter begins with standard examination protocols
for a particular body area and then provides detailed explanations of
the key parameter choices for each scanner type ?with supportive
data from the available literature, wherever possible. The result is
today뭩 state-of-the-art definitive guide to the cost-effective use
of this revolutionary new technology.
