Summary:
Written by many of the best-known names in cardiac and vascular imaging, this title contains a vast amount of concentrated information about cardiovascular disease entities and numerous high quality state of the art images.
Unlike other cardiovascular imaging textbooks this text focuses not just on one imaging modality such as MRI or CT, but rather highlights the imaging findings and appropriate role of all current imaging modalities that are pertinent to individual diagnoses. The imaging material is superb throughout and the author list includes experts from all aspects of modern cardiac and vascular imaging. Images are clear and convey typical and atypical examples of specific diagnoses, and "mimics" and potential pitfalls that may affect diagnostic accuracy.
Reviews:
“Clinically relevant, concise, and includes all of the important cardiovascular diagnoses. The great strength of this book is its comparison of multiple imaging methods for each diagnosis, allowing the reader to appreciate the relative strengths and limitations, and potentially complimentary roles of the various techniques.
“With such a wide variety of cardiovascular imaging textbooks to choose from, the editors and their many contributors are to be congratulated for providing a truly outstanding, practical, and clinically relevant guide that spans the field of cardiovascular imaging.
“This book will serve as a valuable resource that you will undoubtedly reach for again and again.”
