Computed tomography (CT) is the most rapidly evolving medical imaging
technology. This book describes current examination techniques and
advanced clinical applications of state-of-the-art multidetector
computed tomography (MDCT) scanners in chapters contributed by
several distinguished radiologists and clinicians. Each chapter is
written from a practical perspective, so that radiologists,
residents, medical physicists, and radiology technologists can obtain
relevant information about MDCT applications in neuroradiology,
cardiac imaging, chest, abdominal, and musculoskeletal radiology
subspecialties. Each co-author provides pertinent illustrations and
tables for better understanding of current and advanced applications
of MDCT scanners. Readers will benefit from the experience these
authors describe in chapters on MDCT technology, contrast
administration techniques, contrast adverse effects and their
management, and advanced applications of MDCT.
