MDCT describes current examination techniques and advanced clinical applications of state-of-the-art multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scanners in chapters contributed by several distinguished radiologists and clinicians.

Each chapter in MDCT is written from a practical perspective, so that radiologists, residents, medical physicists, and radiology technologists can obtain relevant information about MDCT applications in:

• neuroradiology
• cardiac imaging
• chest
• abdominal
• musculoskeletal radiology subspecialties

MDCT provides pertinent illustrations and tables for better understanding of current and advanced applications of MDCT scanners.
