by Matthew J. Budoff, Stephan S. Achenbach, Jagat Narula, Eugene Braunwald

Overview

Atlas of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography is a comprehensive atlas containing photomicrographs, anatomic illustrations, tables, and charts paired with extensive legends and explanations that are supplemented by extensive research, peer-reviewed articles, and textbooks. In addition to providing historical perspective and current direction for computed tomography, this atlas focuses on research involving coronary artery diseases and anomalies, congestive heart failure, atherosclerotic plaques and asymptomatic disease, as well as imaging techniques, including preparation, acquisition, and processing, involving the great vessels and carotids, the peripheral vasculature, and coronary and pulmonary veins. There also will be discussion of the role of computed tomography in the emergency room and in private cardiology practice.
