This book discusses the state-of-the-art developments in multi-slice CT for cardiac imaging as well as those that can be anticipated in the future. It is a comprehensive work covering all aspects of this technology from the technical fundamentals to clinical indications and protocol recommendations. This second edition draws on the most recent clinical experience obtained with 16- and 64-slice CT scanners by world-leading experts. The book also has chapters on area-detector CT and the brand new dual-source CT.

This second revised edition of Multislice CT provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical application of this exciting technique, following the introduction of the newest generation of multi-detector row CT scanners. An initial section considers technical aspects and issues, including those relating to radiation dose and use of contrast material. Thereafter the focus is on the diagnostic applications of multislice CT in each of the most important anatomical regions. Examinations of the abdomen, head and neck, brain, chest, and blood vessels are individually described and illustrated, due attention being paid to the special scanner settings necessary in each case. Practical guidelines to the performance of a successful investigation are provided, and each chapter also reviews the most recently published literature. This comprehensive book will be an invaluable asset to radiologists at all levels.

Cardiac diseases and in particular coronary artery disease are the leading cause of death and morbidity in the industrialized countries. The development of reliable cardiac imaging techniques is considered a key issue in improving patient care. The introduction of multi-slice computed tomography in 1998 represented a breakthrough of CT technology in cardiac imaging. For the first time, widely available CT systems can be used for non-invasive, angiographic assessment of the heart and the coronary arteries. This book presents and discusses the technical concepts, the potential spectrum of applications and the future perspectives of multi-slice CT in cardiac imaging based on the experience of internationally leading clinical institutions. It shows that this new modality has the potential to become an important and robust tool for non-invasive and early diagnosis of cardiac diseases, thus complementing invasive and non-invasive imaging modalities in clinical routine in the near future.
