Drs. Suhny Abbara, Seth Kligerman, and a team of highly regarded experts provide up-to-date information in concise yet detailed chapters to help you make informed decisions at the point of care. The text is meticulously illustrated, precisely delineated, and extensively referenced, making it a useful learning tool for readers at all levels of experience as well as a handy reference for daily clinical practice.
- Provides comprehensive, expert information on all aspects of cardiac and vascular imaging to help you quickly determine the correct diagnosis for patients with symptoms or indications of cardiovascular disease
- Contains 200+ fully updated chapters on specific areas or groups of related diseases, with in-depth information ranging from common diagnoses to the rare and obscure; each topic is supported by multimodality imaging examples with detailed discussions from experts in the field
- Features new chapters on the expanded use of AI in cardiovascular imaging, as well as multimodality advances in PET and MR for inflammatory cardiomyopathies and in CT and MR for advances in myocardial blood flow imaging
- Discusses new imaging guidelines for the management of acute and chronic chest pain and new transcatheter procedures
- Covers the latest CAD-RADS 2.0 classification, COVID-related vascular complications, and novel dose-reduction techniques
- Includes access to new videos that promote a visual understanding of cardiac flow and normal vs. abnormal cardiovascular health, among other topics
- Reflects new material throughout based on WHO updates for tumors and pulmonary hypertension
- Features more than 2,300 high-quality print images (with an additional 1,300+ images in the complimentary eBook), including videos, radiologic images, full-color illustrations and graphics, histologic images, and clinical photographs
- Uses a bulleted, image-rich layout with short chapters designed for quick access to critical content on terminology, characteristics seen in various imaging studies on the same anatomic location, differential diagnoses, pathologic and clinical issues to consider, and more
- Includes an eBook that enables you to access everything in this print version as well as additional text, images, and videos with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
