MRI and CT of the Cardiovascular System provides state-of-the-art information on the use of MRI and CT in the assessment of cardiac and vascular diseases.

MRI and CT of the Cardiovascular System Second Edition reflects recent significant advances in cardiovascular MRI technology and the emergence of multi-detector CT as an important diagnostic modality, particularly for ischemic heart disease.

Features:

• Thorough explanations of cardiovascular MRI, MRA, and CT techniques
• Comprehensive coverage of clinical applications in specific diseases—acquired heart diseases, ischemic heart disease, congenital heart diseases, and vascular diseases
• Detailed guidance in interpretation of cardiovascular MR and CT images
• More than 900 illustrations aid readers in interpreting clinical images

New to this edition:

• Reflects recent advances in cardiovascular MR technology and clinical applications
• Describes the important diagnostic capabilities of multi-detector CT, especially in ischemic heart disease
• New chapters cover coronary CTA and plaque characterization
• New interventional MR section covers
• catheter tracking and devices
• endovascular interventional MRI
• endovascular intervention for congenital heart disease
• MR-guided cardiac catheterization
• endovascular delivery of gene and stem cell therapy
