Multi-Detector CT Imaging : Abdomen, Pelvis, and CAD Applications

Computed Tomography represents a widely used diagnostic imaging technique in the medical field. In the last 20 years. CT technology has dramatically improved. CT scanners can image human bodies with an exceptional spatial resolution by diagnosing with high sensitivity and specificity several kinds of pathologies. This book offers a complete and clear description of the CT technique and potentialities in diagnosing human pathologies. All of the organs are covered in detail.

Developments in CT technology during the last 20 years have impressively improved its diagnostic potentialities. Part of a two-volume set that covers all aspects of CT imaging, Multi-Detector CT Imaging: Abdomen, Pelvis, and CAD Applications contains easily searchable clinical specialty chapters that provide specific information without need of an index. The coverage goes far beyond just a "how-to" or an encyclopedia of findings, however. The authors have uniformly put techniques, clinical findings, pathologic disease presentations, and clinical implications in practical perspective.

It is no wonder that with the critical role CT plays and the rapid innovations in computer technology that advances in the capabilities and complexity of CT imaging continue to evolve. While information about these developments may be scattered about in journals and other resources, this two-volume set provides an authoritative, up-to-date, and educational reference that covets the entire spectrum of CT.
