Multislice CT (Medical Radiology)

This is the second, revised edition of the very successful volume on multislice CT published only 2 years ago. A second edition became necessary so swiftly due to the rapid technical developments in multi-detector row technology; a huge amount of new experimental and clinical data has recently become available. This book is the most comprehensive up-to-date work on all aspects of the clinical applications of this fascinating imaging technique. It contains information on the very latest developments in the field, as well as numerous superb illustrations. I am very much indebted to the editors of this volume, M. F. Reiser, M. Takahashi, M.Modic and C.R.Becker - all renowned international experts in computer tomogra­ phy - for the immense dedication and tireless effort involved in preparing and editing this superb volume in a record brief period of time. I would like to congratulate the editors and the contributing authors, all selected for their exceptional expertise, on the outstanding quality of the different chapters and the wide range of topics covered.
