This ebook collates the entire present wisdom of cardiac CT and provides it in a clinically suitable and sensible textbook layout acceptable for either cardiologists and radiologists. the photographs were provided by means of an skilled set of contributing authors and characterize the complete spectrum of cardiac CT.
The box of Cardiovascular CT has skilled endured fast evolution as a result of: 1) advances in expertise, 2) multiplied spectrum of cardiovascular functions and three) major progress in released information together with huge potential multicenter reports.
As expanding numbers have entry to cardiac CT scanners, this booklet offers all of the appropriate details in this modality. this is often an in depth replace of the former version bringing the reader up to date with the monstrous volume of up to date content material within the discipline.

Several reports demonstrated very good image quality [4, 5] and, in a comparison of 64 MDCT and DSCT scans, the dual-source system produced better image quality at higher heart rates [6]. Image quality is still improved, however, by reducing heart rate before scanning. The improvement of temporal resolution is not the only way to solve the issue for motion artifact. As a post image processor, GE currently provides the motioncorrection algorithm (Snapshot Freeze; GE Healthcare) which improves image quality using coronary motion artifact and supplements interpretability for diagnostic problems of CAD [7].
