Rezensionen

From the reviews: "The authors investigate the role of CT as an adjunct to other investigations of cardiac ischaemia and also its role as a screening tool. ... There are also multiple case histories and advice on how to read and report examinations. ... this textbook is well written, well laid out and immensely practical for anyone at beginner or advanced level interest in coronary CT. It represents a helpful bench book that should be on the shelf of any department carrying out cardiac CT." (John Reid, RAD Magazine, January, 2010)
