Practical Textbook of Cardiac CT and MRI

This up-to-date textbook comprehensively reviews all aspects of cardiac CT and MRI and demonstrates the value of these
techniques in clinical practice. A wide range of applications are considered, including imaging of atherosclerotic and
non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, coronary revascularization, ischemic heart disease, non-ischemic
cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, cardiac tumors, and pericardial disease. The numerous high-quality images
illustrate how to interpret cardiac CT and MRI correctly for the purposes of diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-
up. Helpful summarizing sections in every chapter will facilitate rapid retrieval of information. This book will be of
great value to radiologists and cardiologists seeking a reliable guide to the optimal use of cardiac CT and MRI in real
clinical situations.​

An additional feature is the provision of QR codes allowing internet access to references, further figures, and motion
pictures. The reader will be able to enjoy this book using a smartphone or tablet PC.
