Description: Cardiac Imaging, Hardcover by Boxt, Lawrence M., Abbara, Suhny, ., ISBN 145574865X, ISBN-13 9781455748655, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Radiologists and cardiologists from the US and Australia present nine chapters on the imaging of children and adults with congenital and acquired heart disease, discussing the choice of imaging modality, basic imaging techniques, pathophysiologic mechanisms and resulting structural changes, and structural criteria for diagnosis and characterization of pathological findings. This edition reflects the clinical advantages of the high sensitivity and specificity of cardiac CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). It replaces most of the cineangiographic imagery with examples from CT and MRI and expands the discussion of contrast-enhanced and quantitative techniques, as well as discussing the changing emphasis on the value of chest film examination. Chapters on techniques of examination have been expanded and revised, and those on specific organs or clinical problems have been revised to reflect current interventional management and the role of CT and MRI in decision making. The chapter on congenital heart disease has been reorganized to reflect the evolution of the catheterization laboratory into an interventional suite, the change from inpatient to outpatient imaging, and the expanded use of MRI and very low-dose CT before and after intervention.
