About this title

Synopsis

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.

From the Back Cover

This second revised edition of Multislice CT provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical application of this exciting technique, following the introduction of the newest generation of multi-detector row CT scanners. An initial section considers technical aspects and issues, including those relating to radiation dose and use of contrast material. Thereafter the focus is on the diagnostic applications of multislice CT in each of the most important anatomical regions. Examinations of the abdomen, head and neck, brain, chest, and blood vessels are individually described and illustrated, due attention being paid to the special scanner settings necessary in each case. Practical guidelines to the performance of a successful investigation are provided, and each chapter also reviews the most recently published literature. This comprehensive book will be an invaluable asset to radiologists at all levels.
