Download or read book Cardiac CT Imaging written by Matthew J. Budoff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-09-03 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CT is an accurate technique for assessing cardiac structure and function, but advances in computing power and scanning technology have resulted in increased popularity. It is useful in evaluating the myocardium, coronary arteries, pulmonary veins, thoracic aorta, pericardium, and cardiac masses; because of this and the speed at which scans can be performed, CT is even more attractive as a cost-effective and integral part of patient evaluation. This book collates all the current knowledge of cardiac CT and presents it in a clinically relevant and practical format appropriate for both cardiologists and radiologists. The images have been supplied by an experienced set of contributing authors and represent the full spectrum of cardiac CT. As increasing numbers have access to cardiac CT scanners, this book provides all the relevant information on this modality.

Download or read book CT Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease written by Paolo Pavone and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Western countries. In non-fatal cases, they are associated with a decreased quality of life as well as a substantial economic burden to society. Most sudden cardiac events are related to the complications of a non-stenosing marginal plaque. For this reason, the ability to properly identify the atherosclerotic plaque with a rapid, non-invasive technique is of utmost clinical interest in therapeutic planning. Coronary CT angiography produces high-quality images of the coronary arteries, in addition to defining their location and the extent of the atherosclerotic involvement. Proper knowledge of the equipment, adequate preparation of the patient, and accurate evaluation of the images are essential to obtaining a consistent clinical diagnosis in every case. With its clear and concise presentation of CT imaging of the coronary arteries, this volume provides general practitioners and cardiologists with a basic understanding of the technique. For radiologists with no direct experience in cardiac imaging, the book serves as an important source of information on coronary pathophysiology and anatomy.

The book also provides insights into various scanning techniques geared towards the pre-procedural use of cardiac CTA in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation, thoracic endovascular aortic repair, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement. In addition, scanning techniques for some of the more difficult cases that a cardiac imager may encounter in practice are reviewed. All images are high-resolution reproductions, and subsequent cardiac catheterization images are included for cases in which obstructive coronary artery disease was revealed. Clinical Pearls in Diagnostic Cardiac Computed Tomographic Angiography is specifically designed to meet the needs of residents, fellows, and physicians who have an interest in cardiovascular CT.
Download or read book Cardiac CT and MR for Adult Congenital Heart Disease written by Farhood Saremi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major textbook to address both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) cardiac imaging of adults for the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD). Since the introduction of faster CT scanners, there has been tremendous advancement in the diagnosis of CHD in adults. This is mostly due to the higher spatial resolution of CT compared to MR, which enables radiologists to create more detailed visualizations of cardiac anatomic structures, leading to the discovery of anomalous pathologies often missed by conventional MR imaging. This book is unique in highlighting the advantages of both CT and MR for the diagnosis of CHD in adults, focusing on the complementary collaboration between the two modalities that is possible. Chapters include discussions of case examples, clinical data, MR and CT image findings, and correlative cadaveric pictures. The chapters focus not only on the diagnosis of the primary problem, but also give readers information on visual clues to look for that often reveal associated pathologies. This book appeals primarily to diagnostic and interventional radiologists, as well as cardiologists and interventional cardiologists.

Download or read book Cardiac Imaging Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease written by Aaron Jackson and published by States Academic Press. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac imaging refers to the use of non-invasive imaging techniques for capturing images of the heart and surrounding structures. These techniques comprise ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and nuclear medicine (NM) imaging with PET or SPECT. When these techniques are used exclusively for imaging of heart, they are known as echocardiography, cardiac MRI, cardiac CT, cardiac PET, and cardiac SPECT, respectively. Cardiac imaging is usually prescribed for screening and diagnosing heart conditions, determining the occurrence of a heart attack and its extent, determining the cause of symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath, and determining the status of cardiovascular diseases. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the major imaging methods used for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in this field. The book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in the field of cardiology and cardiac imaging.
