You will find a complete introduction to the technical aspects and basic principles of image interpretation, essential for fully utilizing the new technology and providing "all you need to know" to get started. The book goes on to cover design of CT scanners, patient preparation, scanning strategies, and image analysis. Highlights include: - Guidelines for optimal use of CT and avoiding errors - Suggested scanning parameters that yield high image quality, key diagnostic information, and maintain radiation safety - Convenient format by organ system and disease entity, with CT indications integrated throughout with other imaging modalities - Full discussion of organ-specific pathology

L'introduzione della scansione spirale e, in tempi più recenti, della tecnica multistrato hanno notevolmente ampliato il campo d'azione della TC che, a circa trent'anni dalla sua nascita, resta la metodica diagnostica più accreditata in campo radiologico. Questo volume, frutto della collaborazione di un gruppo di specialisti di consolidata esperienza, fa il punto sulle attuali possibilità che la tecnologia multistrato e a spirale offrono, senza pero dimenticare le basi costruite nel corso degli anni dalla TC tradizionale.
