Description
Optimize diagnostic accuracy with Cardiovascular Imaging, a title in the popular Problem Solving in Radiology series. Drs. Suhny Abbara and Sanjeeva Kalva use a problem-based approach to help you make optimal use of the latest cardiovascular imaging techniques and achieve confident diagnoses.
Make the most effective use of today's imaging techniques, including PET and SPECT.
Perform effective interventions using the newest grafts, stents, and coils.
See conditions as they appear in practice with more than 2,350 images detailing anatomy, normal anatomic variants, and pathology.
Make optimal clinical choices and avoid complications with expert protocols and tricks of the trade.
Avoid common problems that can lead to an incorrect diagnosis. Tables and boxes with tips, pitfalls, and other teaching points show you what to look for, while problem-solving advice helps you make sound clinical decisions.
Quickly find the information you need thanks to a well-organized, user-friendly format with consistent headings, detailed illustrations, and at-a-glance tables.

Reviews / Votes
"The attractiveness of this concept is that it approaches the concerns that many medical practitioners have as they move through their everyday practice and it makes it easy for practitioners to utilise the book as questions occur as their work evolves...The great stength of this book is that it contains a wide breath of material in an extremely accessible, problem-orientated manner that can be rapidly accessed...It allows the reader to rapidly become an expert in a small area that he or she may be concerned about and the style of the chapters effectively accentuates the key points in each area...Overall, therefore, an excellent comprehensive text presented in a way that allows the reader easy access to important bits of information without getting bogged down or imtimidated by the size of the whole textbook itself. This will make an excellent addition to any imaging library and would be a first-rate companion next to the reporting workstation."RAD, June 2013
"This is an excellent review of the use of various imaging modalities in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of cardiovascular diseases, and a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each of them for the various clinical conditions. The quality of the images is excellent." Bennett Greenspan, MD, MS (Medical College of Georgia) 5 star Doody Rating!

Sanjeeva Kalva, MD is the chief of Interventional Radiology in the Department of Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is a world-renowned expert in minimally invasive approaches to treating liver cancer. Dr. Kalva trained as an interventional radiologist in India where he served on the faculty at Kovai Medical Center and Hospital in Coimbatore. In 2004, he completed a research fellowship at Harvard Medical School followed by a fellowship in vascular and interventional radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital. He served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital until 2013 when he became the chief of Interventional Radiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Kalva has published multiple research papers and book chapters in the peer-reviewed literature. His research focuses on the effectiveness of minimally invasive procedures to treat liver cancer, venous thromoboembolism, portal hypertension, varicose veins and pulmonary vascular disease including arteriovenous malformations. Dr. Kalva has won several awards for his work in interventional radiology including the Outstanding Performance Award and the Dr. Athanasoulis Award for Excellence in Teaching, both at Massachusetts
General Hospital. He is an active member of a number of professional associations including the Radiological Society of North America and the American College of Radiology and has also been named a fellow of the Society of Interventional Radiology.
