Synopsis

Written by internationally eminent experts in cardiovascular imaging, this volume details the newly recognized advantages of using MR to evaluate cardiovascular disease--including more comprehensive data, no radiation exposure, reduced cost, and less patient discomfort. The book explains how to obtain reliable anatomic and functional information about the heart and vascular system--noninvasively and with a single imaging study.

Six chapters provide must-have advice on techniques, blood flow measurements, contrast media, and more. Twenty-three chapters reveal the superior diagnostic capabilities of MRI and MRA for a full range of acquired and congenital cardiovascular disorders. The authors show how to evaluate myocardial and pericardial disorders, assess myocardial viability by contrast enhancement, examine coronary artery bypass grafts, image atherosclerotic plaque, and much more. An unmatched collection of more than 700 images presents diagnostic information in unprecedented detail, improving the reader's interpretation of clinical studies.
