Beschreibung
Over the past few decades there have been major advances in computed tomography (CT) to improve the performance of cardiac imaging. Thanks to the improved scanning speed, power boost tubes, and increased-width detectors, the latest CT technology delivers greater coverage, better spatial and temporal resolution, and functional information on cardiac diseases. Focusing on cardiac CT imaging, this book offers case-based information on cardiac diseases, presents the current technical status, and highlights applications, helping readers systematically understand how cardiac CTs are performed and interpreted in clinical practice. Divided into six chapters, it broadly discusses the characteristics of CT imaging and its applications to coronary artery disease (CAD); non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disease; congenital heart disease; cardiac neoplasms; cardiomyopathy and aortic diseases.

“This book offers a fascinating insight into clinical practice in China, where the volume of cardiovascular CT performed dwarfs many other nations and, although extremely comprehensive, up-to-date and thorough, it does highlight differences in the approach to practice when compared to Europe and North America. … this is a professionally written offering, it is eclectic and fascinating … .” (Ed Nicol, RAD Magazine, February, 2021)
