Cardiac CT Imaging: Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease

by Matthew J. Budoff (Editor)

CT is an accurate technique for assessing cardiac structure and function, but advances in computing power and scanning technology have resulted in increased popularity. It is useful in evaluating the myocardium, coronary arteries, pulmonary veins, thoracic aorta, pericardium, and cardiac masses; because of this and the speed at which scans can be performed, CT is even more attractive as a cost-effective and integral part of patient evaluation. This book collates all the current knowledge of cardiac CT and presents it in a clinically relevant and practical format appropriate for both cardiologists and radiologists. The images have been supplied by an experienced set of contributing authors and represent the full spectrum of cardiac CT. As increasing numbers have access to cardiac CT scanners, this book provides all the relevant information on this modality.

I reread it. Trying to improve my CT anatomy to read hybrid CT/PET.I last read it in 2007. It would be nice to get an updated version since this was published on n 2006.

It is well written book, but it should not be your first introduction to cardiac ct. Beware that the digital version does not include the CD which you find i with the printed version. I read the first edition of the book in 2016 and now I read the third. I think this is a good book in its field and agreed with who recommended to me that this is a " must". I am impressed with this edition that will give a higher rating.
