Since its clinical introduction almost 20 years ago, cardiac CT has
been embraced as an indispensable noninvasive cardiac imaging
modality and an important first-line test for coronary artery
disease. Beyond coronary artery disease, the potential of cardiac
CT has become evident for diagnosis and guidance of treatment in a
variety of other cardiac pathologies, including valvular disease,
atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias, endocarditis, cardiac
masses, cardiomyopathies, and others. The European Association of
Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) has declared as one of their
foremost priorities to facilitate education and training in
cardiovascular CT through teaching courses, congresses, and a
structured certification program. This handbook represents an
important step towards dissemination of skills and knowledge in
cardiovascular CT. It is a concise and practical companion, to
benefit students, trainees or advanced users; cardiologists,
radiologists, cardiac surgeons or technicians, in their everyday
practice. Four broad sections cover technical aspects and physical
background, coronary indications (e.g. coronary CT angiography,
atherosclerosis imaging, stents & bypasses, functional CT
imaging, etc.), non-coronary indications (CT for valve disease,
infective endocarditis, CT of the left atrium, congenital heart
disease, cardiac masses, extracardiac findings, etc.), and finally
training and competence in cardiac CT. The handbook features short
chapters, enriched with illustrations, tables and condensed
summaries, facilitating rapid and intuitive access.
