Description
Springer Cardiac CT Diagnostic Guide and Cases 1st Editon 2020 Softbound by Zheng-yu Jin, Bin Lu, Yining Wang
Over the past few decades there have been major advances in computed tomography (CT) to improve the performance of cardiac imaging. Thanks to the improved scanning speed, power boost tubes, and increased-width detectors, the latest CT technology delivers greater coverage, better spatial and temporal resolution, and functional information on cardiac diseases. Focusing on cardiac CT imaging, this book offers case-based information on cardiac diseases, presents the current technical status, and highlights applications, helping readers systematically understand how cardiac CTs are performed and interpreted in clinical practice. Divided into six chapters, it broadly discusses the characteristics of CT imaging and its applications to coronary artery disease (CAD); non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disease; congenital heart disease; cardiac neoplasms; cardiomyopathy and aortic diseases. Reversible myocardial ischemia.- Myocardial infarction.- Coronary artery stent implantation.- Coronary artery in-stent restenosis.- Dual-energy evaluation of high calcium score (>400) coronary artery.- Dual-energy evaluation of coronary artery stent.- Coronary artery bypass grafting .- Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH).- Takayasu's arteritis.- Kawasaki disease (KD).- Behcets disease (BD).- Fibromuscular Dysplasia.- Coronary artery origin anomalies (CAOA).- Coronary artery fistula (CAF).- Endocardial cushion defect (ECD).- Aortopulmonary window (APW).- Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (APVC).- Cor triatriatum .- Double outlet right ventricle (DORV).- Atrial septal defect (ASD).- Ventricular septal defect (VSD).- Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).- Tetralogy of fallot (TOF).- Myxoma.- Rhabdomyoma.- Paraganglioma.- Fibroma.- Mesothelioma.- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).- Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM).- Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC).
