Ideal for residents starting in radiology and radiologic technologists, this concise manual is the perfect
introduction to the physics and practice of CT and the interpretation of basic CT images. Designed as a
systematic learning tool, it introduces the use of CT scanners for all organs, and includes positioning, use
of contrast media, representative CT scans of normal and pathological findings, explanatory drawings with
keyed anatomic structures, and an overview of the most important measurement data. Finally, self-assessment
quizzes – including answers – at the end of each chapter help the reader monitor progress and evaluate
knowledge gained.
New in this fifth edition: Recent technical developments such as dual source CT, protocols for CT
angiography, and PET/CT fusion.
