New MSCT machines produce a volume data set with the highest
isotropic spatial resolution ever seen, offering superb 3D images
of the entire heart and vessels.
The texts currently available on cardiac CT imaging mainly focus
on visualizing pathological aspects of coronary arteries. Anatomy
of the Heart by Multislice Computed Tomography is the first text to
bridge the gap between classical anatomy textbooks and CT
textbooks, presenting a side-by-side comparison of
‘electronic’ dissection made by CT scanning and
traditionally hand-made anatomical dissection.
Focusing on the fundamentals as well as the details of cardiac
anatomy in a clinical setting using MSCT, this is an invaluable
reference for cardiac imaging trainees, cardiologists,
radiologists, interventionists and electrophysiologists, providing
a better understanding of the cardiac structures, coronary arteries
and veins anatomy and their 3-dimensional spatial
relationships.
