Cardiac CT angiography (CTA) is a rapidly growing imaging modality that provides vital diagnostic information. Consequently, interest in training for this new modality is increasing exponentially, but there are few practical books dedicated to the topic and education of cardiologists in the technique.


The primary purpose of the Cardiac CT Angiography Manual is to educate medical professionals in all relevant aspects of cardiac CTA and calcium scoring in a simple, practical and concise manner. In addition, many difficult concepts that make learning cardiac CTA difficult are simplified and put into context. After reading this work, the reader will be taken from novice level to a level that will allow him or her to begin clinical training experiences and will serve as a reference and review for those who have already completed training.


Designed for residents and fellows in cardiology and radiology, this work makes 'difficult to understand' concepts easy to comprehend with the aid of simple, intuitive diagrams. Concepts and terminology are completely and simply defined and explained. The book also compiles an extensive amount of relevant and difficult to obtain information in one place to serve not only as a simple educational tool but also as a reference once the reader is fully trained in using cardiac CTA.

Written for:
Cardiology fellows, radiology residents in training, cardiologists and radiologists already in practice. Secondary markets include radiology technologists and radiology technologists in training, clinical nurses
