Based on advances in scanner and software technology, cardiovascular imaging with multidetector 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, Cardiac CT Made Easy: An Introduction to Cardiovascular Multidetector Computed Tomography provides a simple introduction to the principles of MDCT for cardiovascular applications from the perspective of the CT technologist as well as the clinician. Covering the essential topics in a detailed manner, this volume: Reviews the technical principles of CT Discusses characteristics of the normal heart as well as clinical cardiovascular indications Focuses on clinical manifestations of disease, diagnostic criteria, and options for management Reviews major anti-arrhythmic drugs and new agents coming into use Discusses clinical applications in comparison with other imaging modalities-- clarifying the strengths and the limitations of CT in the assessment of specific clinical problems Explores current standard applications such as imaging of the aorta, as well as emerging areas for coronary artery imaging Contains a large number of selected images to place the material in context Practical and fully up to date, this is an essential book for cardiovascular clinicians and technologists using CT imaging technology, cardiac specialists and nurses, and imaging physicists.

The tools necessary for correctly identifying complex coronary lesions and plaques. The data required to accurately diagnose rare disease progression and patterns. With Diagnostic Methods in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, all of the essential diagnostic modalities you need in the lab are at your fingertips. This new force in cardiology is the premier reference guide to advanced clinical approaches and the specialized conditions that every interventional cardiologist encounters. It depicts the unusual and unique situations in the catheterization lab and supplies the knowledge required of clinicians that goes beyond the fundamental methods and techniques. Key topics discussed include: promising new technology, including machines and contrast agents intracardiac pressure and flow measurement, and shunt detection qualitative and quantitative angiography intravascular ultrasound, derived methods, and intracardiac ultrasonography optical coherence and multidetector-computed tomography electromechanical mapping (NOGA system) baseline evaluation and therapeutic monitoring clinical applications of quantitative coronary angiography pre-procedure planning and intra-procedure of CTO treatment
