'Handbook of Cardiac CT' is a primer for the practical performance and interpretation of cardiovascular computed tomography. This manual serves as a companion to the textbook: 'Cardiac CT Imaging: Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease' and provides essential concise and practical text summary of each topic, with additional tables, algorithms, protocols and key images for orientation to and familiarization with important disease processes. This manual targets a reading audience who are in the training phase of performance and interpretation of cardiovascular CT and is designed as an easily accessible pocket reference.
