Author Description

Cardiovascular Computed Tomography has a prominent role in the diagnosis and management across a wide spectrum of clinical indications. Therefore, knowledge about this exciting technology is critical for imaging specialists and clinicians alike. Complementary to more detailed textbooks, this book is geared towards readers, who are learning about cardiovascular CT regardless of their clinical specialty. It is intended to be a short practical introduction with a focus on visual material. With this in mind, the 3rd edition has been carefully revised and updated to include recent developments in CT scanner technology and clinical indications. The current 3rd edition of the book covers the entire spectrum of cardiovascular computed tomography, but text and number of images were reduced and focused on the essential material. 'MDCT made Easy' provides a rapid introduction and initial understanding about cardiovascular CT. Key Features Covers the entire spectrum of cardiovascular computed tomography; this 3rd edition provides a concise and practical text focused on the essential material.
