Synopsis

This is the first textbook in DECT focussing especially on the cardiovascular field. DECT was developed many years ago but has recently spread its clinical utility. Many new applications have been developed over the last years and the cardiovascular system has benefited from these advances. New protocols will be used in the near future which will help to optimize results obtained until now with single energy CT, such as a more precise quantification of coronary artery stenosis using either different monochromatic levels or material decomposition, reduction of beam hardening artifacts in perfusion studies and optimizing endovenous contrast, among others.​

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Patricia Carrascosa MD, PhD is currently assistant professor of Buenos Aires University in Argentina. She obtained her PhD in Virtual Colonoscopy in 2007. She has been working in research in 3D special studies (virtual studies, angiographies) and since 1999 she has focused her main activity in the cardiovascular field in CT and MRI. Mario J. Garcia MD is an internationally known leader in the development and clinical advancement of cardiac diagnostic technology, including cardiac CAT, echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. His pioneering work with CAT coronary angiography, a noninvasive technology that has revolutionized the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, has led to establishing a new standard of care. Ricardo C. Cury MD is a non-invasive cardiovascular radiologist and is the Chairman of Radiology Associates of South Florida, a large multi-specialty group. Dr. Cury is also Director of Cardiac Imaging of Baptist Hospital of Miami and Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute. Jonathon Leipsic MD, FRCPC, FSCCT is Chairman of the Department of Radiology for Providence Health Care and the Vice Chairman of Research for the UBC Department of Radiology.
