Beschreibung
This is the first monograph to focus exclusively on coronary radiology. It is particularly timely, given that the emergence of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, coupled with improvements in both hard- and software, has made reproducible non-invasive coronary imaging a practical reality. The volume commences with an introductory section on coronary anatomy, which is followed by sections on invasive and non-invasive coronary imaging, coronary calcification, and computed coronary visualization. A wide range of topics is addressed, including quantitative angiography, intravascular and quantitative ultrasound, multislice and electron beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance coronary angiography and use of the coronary calcium score as an independent risk factor. All of the latest developments, such as non-invasive intracoronary thrombus imaging, are covered. Particular care has been taken to consider the common questions confronted in asymptomatic patients. The text is supported by high-quality color images of the coronary and cardiac anatomy.
Due to the enormous progress in multidetector CT technology as well as in magnetic resonance angiography, non-invasive coronary imaging has matured to become a clini cal tool in daily radio logic practice. Therefore this book is a timely addition to the series Medical Radiology - Diagnostic Imaging. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date work on alI aspects of non- invasive visualization of the coronary arteries that is currently available. The very latest develop ments in the field are alI described in this superbly illustrated volume. 1 am very much indebted to the editor of this volume, Professor M. Oudkerk ,a welI known international expert in cardiac radiology ,for his immense dedication and his tireless efforts to prepare and edit this outstanding volume in such a short time. 1 would like to congratulate him and the contributing authors , alI selected for their exceptional expertise, on the superb quality of the different chapters and the wide range of topics covered. This work will be a daily source of reference for aH radiologists and cardiologists involved in non-invasive coronary imaging and will provide a solid base of information for those taking their first steps in this fascinating field. 1 am confident that this outstanding volume will meet considerable success with the readership of our series.

From the reviews of the first edition:
"The editors present a book on the hot topic of coronary radiology … . The present book is very comprehensive and an up-to-date work on … coronary arteries currently available. All the latest developments in the field are described in detail. … the book is of high quality, with the latest technologies being presented. It will be a useful compendium for all radiologists and cardiologists involved in the field of non-invasive coronary imaging and will also provide solid information for beginners … ." (T. J. Vogl, European Radiology, 2006)
