This is the first monograph to focus exclusively on coronary radiology. It is particularly timely, given that the emergence of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, coupled with improvements in both hard- and software, has made reproducible non-invasive coronary imaging a practical reality. A wide range of topics is addressed, including: quantitative angiography, intravascular and quantitative ultrasound, multislice and electron beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance coronary angiography and use of the coronary calcium score as an independent risk factor. All of the latest developments, such as non-invasive intracoronary thrombus imaging, are covered. Particular care has been taken to consider the common questions confronted in asymptomatic patients. The text is supported by high-quality color images of the coronary and cardiac anatomy.
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews of the first edition:
"The editors present a book on the hot topic of coronary radiology . . The present book is very comprehensive and an up-to-date work on . coronary arteries currently available. All the latest developments in the field are described in detail. . the book is of high quality, with the latest technologies being presented. It will be a useful compendium for all radiologists and cardiologists involved in the field of non-invasive coronary imaging and will also provide solid information for beginners . ." (T. J. Vogl, European Radiology, 2006)
