About this book

Multidetector CT (MDCT) is much more than an incremental impro- ment over the previous technology. When compared with computed tomography (CT) imaging performed just 4 or 5 years ago, it is ess- tially a new modality. MDCT has signi?cantly changed how I practice radiology and has reinvigorated my love for imaging. The images p- duced are not only clinically diagnostic, but they have an aesthetic beauty that is both accessible and enticing to radiologists, clinicians, and even patients. The purpose of writing this book is twofold. The ?rst section brings together into one source all the practical information needed to s- cessfully set up a MDCT practice, operate the scanners and 3D wo- stations, manage work?ow, and consistently produce high-quality diagnostic images. The second section is a teaching ?le of volumetric cases. This is not intended to be a comprehensive collection of teaching material, but rather a showcase for the varied capabilities of current scanners and workstations. Each case is selected to demonstrate how the technology can improve the process of making a clinical diagnosis and then eff- tively relaying this information to other physicians in a format that is easy to understand. I hope that readers of this book will not only get a better und- standing of MDCT and 3D workstations, but also a better appreciation of the art of radiology expressed by the images.

Reviews

From the reviews:

This is an excellent textbook on multidetector CT and 3D workstations. The author is to be congratulated on producing such a good quality tome single handed. Dr. A.K. Banerjee, Radmagazine

"MDCT and 3D Workstations: A Practical Guide and Teaching File is a superb, up-to-date, and easily readable reference text. … The text is so well written that readers possessing any knowledge of medical imaging will be both impressed and interested. … This book is well organized. … This text meets both its intended purposes and the needs of the target audience. Given the quantity of the images and the breadth of the text, this book is reasonably priced and I highly recommend it." (Robert David Stoffey, Radiology, Vol. 243 (3), 2007)
