Cardiac ailments, and particularly coronary artery illness, are the prime explanation for demise and morbidity in industrialized international locations. the improvement of non-invasive imaging thoughts for the center and the coronary arteries has been thought of a key point in enhancing sufferer care. A leap forward in cardiac imaging utilizing CT happened in 1998, with the advent of multi-slice computed tomography (CT). because then, striking advances in functionality have taken position with scanners that gather as much as sixty four slices in step with rotation. This e-book discusses the cutting-edge advancements in multi-slice CT for cardiac imaging in addition to those who could be expected sooner or later. It serves as a accomplished paintings that covers all elements of this know-how, from the technical basics and snapshot assessment the entire strategy to medical symptoms and protocol strategies. This totally remodeled moment version attracts at the newest medical event bought with sixteen- and 64-slice CT scanners via world-leading specialists from Europe and the USA. it is usually "hands-on" event within the kind of 10 consultant medical case stories, that are integrated at the accompanying CD. As a different spotlight, the most recent result of the very lately brought dual-source CT, that may quickly symbolize the CT know-how of selection for cardiac functions, are provided. This publication won't simply persuade the reader that multi-slice cardiac CT has arrived in scientific perform, it is going to additionally make an important contribution to the schooling of radiologists, cardiologists, technologists, and physicists—whether beginners, skilled clients, or researchers.
