About this book
The introduction of fast ECG-synchronized computed tomography (CT) techniques
enables imaging of the heart with a combination of speed and spatial resolution
unparalleled by other noninvasive imaging modalities. Applying these modalities
for the evaluation of coronary artery disease is a topic of active current research.
Coronary artery calcium measurements are investigated as a marker for cardiac
risk stratification. With contrast-enhanced CT coronary angiography, coronary
arteries can be visualized with unprecedented detail, so that noninvasive stenosis
assessment appears within reach. With increasing accuracy CT enables evaluation
of coronary artery bypass grafts and stents. The cross-sectional nature of CT
may to some degree allow noninvasive assessment of the coronary artery wall.
CT for evaluating cardiac perfusion, motion, and viability is being investigated.
In CT of the Heart, leading radiologists, cardiologists, physicists, engineers,
and basic and clinical scientists from around the world survey the full scope
of current developments, research, and scientific controversy regarding principles
and applications of cardiac CT. Richly illustrated with over 900 black-and-white
and color images, the book discusses the interpretation of CT of the heart in
a variety of clinical, physiologic, and pathologic applications. The authors
emphasize current state-of-the-art uses of computed tomography, including 64-slice
MDCT and contrast-enhanced CT, and examine emerging developments at the horizon.
They review the technical basis of CT image acquisition as well as the tools
for image visualization and analysis.
Meticulous and comprehensive, CT of the Heart authoritatively defines the current
status of computed tomography of the heart, offering a truly balanced view of
its technology, applications, significance, and future potential.
Written for: Cardiologists, radiologists, biophysicists, bioengineers,
biochemists, physiologists, and pathologists
Reviews
"The entire contents-from the introduction about the past, present, and
future of CT of the heart through the technical underpinning of the method,
and through various clinical, physiologic, an d pathologic applications of CT
in studying the heart-art meticulous and comprehensive. This book fills and
immense need"-Foreword by Alexander R. Margulis, MD, DSc., Weill Medical
