This practically oriented book opens by describing the basic cardiac MR (CMR) sequences and cardiac CT (CCT) acquisition techniques and presenting step-by-step guidance on the referral of patients for CMR and CCT studies and the analysis of images. The main body of the book, however, is devoted to a full description of the study protocols appropriate for imaging of different pathological conditions and the rationale for each protocol. In addition, the findings obtained across the entire range of potential disease settings are documented with the aid of an extensive set of illustrations. The book aims especially to meet the needs of young cardiologists and radiologists embarking on the regular use of cardiac imaging based on MR and CT; it will also serve as a valuable reference manual for more established specialists. A particular benefit is the inclusion within one volume of information on CMR and CCT, which are typically considered separately even though both modalities are of the utmost interest for practitioners.§
