Cardiac
CT Imaging : Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease
- 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 imaging. As
increasing numbers have access to cardiac CT scanners, this book provides all
the relevant information on this modality. A CD-ROM is included containing a
large number of cardiac CT images and videos, providing the reader with a
dynamic primer in cardiac CT diagnosis.
Cardiac
CT Made Easy - Based on advances in scanner
and software technology, cardiovascular imaging with multi-detector computed
tomography (MDCT) is developing into an important clinical diagnostic tool for
cardiac disease. Combining the in-depth coverage of a text with the diagnostic
utility of a manual, this superb guide provides a simple introduction to the
principles of MDCT for cardiovascular applications from the perspective of the
CT technologist as well as the clinician.
Clinical
PET and PET/CT - A practical manual covering
the full spectrum of PET and PET/CT imaging, now in common clinical practice,
this book includes images of normal variants, artifacts, and pathologic
conditions. Indications for and the relative clinical value of PET in the
armamentarium of diagnostic medical imaging are reviewed. The information in the
book is organized to be brief, concise, easy-to-understand and readily accessed.
This book is intended for all health practitioners who need a concise reference
and review of PET imaging indications, protocols and clinical applications. It
will be useful to radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and clinicians who
refer their patients to PET Centers for diagnostic imaging, including
neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, cardiologists, internists, and
oncologists. Radiologic and nuclear medicine technologists, and physicians in
training will also benefit from this work.
Computed
Tomography : Fundamentals, System Technology, Image Quality, Applications
- Comprehensive description
of the theoretical and technical system fundamentals of computed tomography (CT)
from conventional single-slice acquisitions to volume acquisition with
Multislice Spiral CT. Covers all characteristic parameters relevant for image
quality and all performance features significant for clinical application.
Computed Body
Tomography With MRI Correlation - This edition places an increased
emphasis on spiral as well as high-resolution computed tomography. The superb
illustrations have been updated, as have the extensive references. Like the earlier
editions, the Third Edition clearly describes computed tomography in a variety of
pathologic conditions in the extracranial regions; provides new ideas for conducting,
analyzing, and interpreting scans efficiently and accurately; and presents an approach to
the proper sequencing of radiologic studies for a variety of clinical problems.
CT
Teaching Manual: A Systematic Approach To CT Reading
Fundamentals
of Body CT - "...a concise review of CT anatomy for each
body area and of major CT findings for common diseases...with new coverage of
spiral CT, advances in CT techniques, updated CT findings in abdominal disease,
and revised and expanded illustrations." Appropriate for: Radiology
Residents, Radiologists.
Computed
Tomography of the Lung: A Pattern Approach - As a result of the
introduction of multidetector CT, very detailed images of the lungs can be
obtained in every patient undergoing chest CT. Interpretation of the findings
requires good knowledge and understanding of the CT signs of all the more common
pulmonary diseases. In the first part of the book, the main appearance patterns
of lung disease are described with the help of many colour drawings and
high-quality illustrations. This approach will enable the reader to recognise
these patterns and to interpret them in order to reach a diagnosis. In the
second part, many typical cases are shown which will assist the reader in
applying what was learned in the first part. This concise, easy to use and
didactic book will help the radiologist in training to learn and understand the
CT features of lung disease and is also recommended to more experienced
specialists wishing to update their knowledge in the field.
