This is the second edition of the only available monograph on coronary radiology. During the past decade the field has undergone rapid development, particularly in the use of non-invasive coronary imaging. In line with these advances, this new edition places special emphasis on the role of non-invasive techniques, detailed information being provided on CT angiography with multidetector and dual-source tomography, 2D and 3D visualization techniques, and MR coronary angiography. Invasive procedures are not neglected, however, and a separate section includes chapters on conventional catheterization, quantitative angiography, and intravascular and quantitative ultrasound. A further section devoted to coronary calcification clearly explains its development and the use of modern techniques in its visualization and quantification; the role of coronary calcium as an indicator of coronary artery disease is also discussed in depth.The text is supported by a large number of high-quality color images. Only monograph to focus exclusively on coronary radiology New, completely up-to-date edition that places special emphasis on the role of non-invasive imaging modalities, including CT angiography with multidetector and dual-source tomography and MR coronary angiography Includes sections on invasive imaging techniques and coronary calcification Text supported by numerous high-quality color images INDICE: Coronary Anatomy.- Invasive Coronary Imaging: Conventional Catherization.- Quantitative Coronary Angiography.- Clinical Intracoronary Ultrasound.- Quantitative Coronary Ultrasound.- Non-Invasive Coronary Imaging: TechnicalDevelopment in Multidetector CT Coronary Angiography.- Clinical Implementations of Coronary Imaging.- Developments in MR Coronary Angiography.- MDCT in Acute Coronary Syndrome.- Coronary Calcification: Plaque and Calcification Development.- Detection and Quantification.- Standarization and Visualiztion of Coronary Calcifications.- Coronary Calcium as an Indicator of Coronary Artery Disease (Including Clinical Implications).- Epidemiology of Coronary Calcification.- Multi-dimensional Computed Coronary Visualization: Coronary 3D Angiography and 3D Ultrasound.- Coronary Multidimensional MRT, EBT, and MSCT.- Digital Standardization and Archiving.- Subject Index.- List of Contributors.
