Today’s preeminent authorities in cardiac and vascular imaging present dependable diagnostic guidance—complimented by high-quality color illustrations—on both the common and less common diagnoses encountered in practice. Unlike other cardiovascular imaging textbooks, this resource highlights key imaging findings—and examines the appropriate role—of all current imaging modalities, including among many others 64-detector-row and dual-source cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, and advanced CT and MR angiography. For each diagnosis, you’ll also find concise summaries of terminology, protocol advice, interpretive guidance, imaging findings, key facts, differential diagnosis, pathology, clinical issues, a diagnostic checklist, and selected references. At the same time, the book’s user-friendly bulleted format enables you to access all of this information remarkably quickly.

现今在心血管影像领域中杰出的权威人士阐述了值得信赖的诊断指导方针——以高品质的彩色插图进行补充——关于临床实践中常见的和不常见的诊断。不同于其他的心血管影像教科书，本书着重关注于所有现有影像学检查方法的重要的影像学发现——并解释了其适宜的作用，包括许多其他的64层双螺旋心脏CT，心脏MRI，和先进的血管造影CT和MRI。对于每一个诊断，读者都能够找到术语的简明总结，治疗方案的建议，说明指导，影像学发现，关键的事实，不同的诊断方法，病理学，临床问题，诊断清单和选择的参考文献。同时，本书易于读者使用的项目列表格式使得读者能够相当快速的获取所有的信息。
