Protocols for Cardiac MR and CT

This practically oriented book opens
by describing the basic Cardiac MR (CMR) sequences and Cardiac CT (CCT)
acquisition techniques, offering step-by-step guidelines on acquiring CMR and
CCT studies and analyzing images. The main body of the book provides a
comprehensive description of the study protocols most suitable for particular
diseases and discusses their respective rationales. In addition, it highlights key
findings for every pathological condition, complemented by extensive illustrations.
The book especially addresses the needs of junior cardiologists and
radiologists embarking on the regular use of MR-based and CT-based cardiac
imaging, though it also offers a valuable reference manual for senior
specialists. Of particular benefit is the inclusion of both CMR and CCT,
techniques which are usually treated separately, despite the regular use of both
at advanced Cardiac Imaging Units.
