CT and MR in Cardiology, 1e

By Suhny Abbara, MD, Chief, Cardiothoracic Imaging Division; Professor, Department of Radiology, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, USA and Stephan Achenbach, MD, FESC, FACC, Professor of Medicine, Chairman, Department of Cardiology, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany

Description:

Designed to be of benefit to both cardiologists and radiologists, CT and MR in Cardiology covers all aspects of this fast-growing subspecialty, providing a current, comprehensive resource for physicians at the point of care. Cardiologists will find authoritative guidance on the performance and interpretation of CT angiography and MR to complement echocardiography and angiography, and radiologists will find practical, highly illustrated information on specific cardiac CT and MR diagnostic procedures.
