CARDIAC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY HANDBOOK: A Practical Companion to Braunwald's Heart Disease with Coronary CT, Anatomy, Imaging Protocols, and Clinical Interpretation

Cardiac Computed Tomography Handbook is a practical, deeply structured guide for anyone who wants to understand cardiac CT with clarity, confidence, and clinical purpose. Written as a companion to Braunwald’s Heart Disease, this handbook takes readers beyond basic theory and into the real work of coronary CT, cardiac anatomy, imaging protocols, patient safety, and clinical interpretation.Inside, readers are guided step by step through the development of cardiac imaging, the principles of computed tomography, coronary artery anatomy, coronary artery disease, calcium scoring, CCTA protocols, radiation safety, contrast administration, reporting standards, and advanced techniques such as FFR-CT, dual-energy CT, plaque characterization, 3D modeling, and artificial intelligence in image interpretation.What makes this book valuable is its balance of scientific depth and practical application. It explains how cardiac CT fits into modern cardiovascular care, how imaging findings support diagnosis and risk assessment, and how clinicians can connect technical image acquisition with real patient decisions. The book also addresses special populations, quality assurance, ethical issues, healthcare policy, and the future of cardiac CT, making it useful for medical students, radiology trainees, cardiology fellows, imaging specialists, researchers, and practicing clinicians.Whether you are learning cardiac CT for the first time or refining your interpretation skills, this handbook provides a clear pathway from foundational knowledge to advanced clinical use.If you want a focused, practical, and professionally relevant resource on cardiac computed tomography, add Cardiac Computed Tomography Handbook to your library today and strengthen your understanding of one of the most important tools in modern cardiovascular imaging Read more
