Computed tomography of the heart and cardiovascular system continues to show an impressive and tremendously successful development. Technical improvements translate into new applications and enhanced diagnostic accuracy and the new diagnostic opportunities may potentially be beneficial for many individuals with known or suspected cardiovascular disease. In order to assure that the potential of cardiovascular CT will optimally be used for patient care, a continued, strong joint effort concerning education and training, further research, and advocacy will be necessary. The combined knowledge, experience, and input of all clinicians and researchers in the field will best serve that purpose. Cardiovascular Computed Tomography is the first textbook to cover the heart, cardiovascular and peripheral vascular systems and will provide the reader with the necessary background information to perform cardiac CT on symptomatic patients and asymptomatic individuals for the accurate assessment of underlying disease.

Reviews for Computed Tomography of the Cardiovascular System

From the reviews of the first edition: <p>...this book provides an excellent, very detailed and all-embracing review on the primary photoreactions of photosynthesis. This book will be, with no doubt, very useful to students and teachers in photosynthesis, photobiology and plant physiology disciplines. It will also provide a valuable handbook and a basis of reference for scientist and PhD student working on photo-induced electron transfer and will certainly become a must on the shelves of the library of the laboratories devoted to this field.'<br>Plant Science, 161 (2001) <br> ...I would highly recommend this book for all scientists who are already involved in this field or research and who aim to.'<br>Physiologiae Plantarum, 23: 3 (2001) <br>The uniqueness of the book lies in its in-epth, precise data-based presentations... Bacon Ke's book Photosynthesis' represents an elegant presentation of the intricate aspects of light reactions to photosynthesis... This book shall adorn the bookshelf of many for years... Dr. Ke deserves the congratulations and admiration of all for his painstaking efforts to write this advanced text.' <br>Prasanna Mohanty, formerly Professor of Photobioenergetics and Biochemistry, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and Adjunct Professor, Functional Ecology, Regional Resource Center, Bhubaneswar, Orissa <br>This volume is an important source of reference and would greatly benefit libraries. Prof. Ke is to be congratulated on a monumental work of synthesis.' <br>Annals of Botany, 91 (2003) <p> a ~Photosynthesis a Photobiochemistry and Photobiophysicsa (TM) is a unique addition to the literature in the field of photosynthesis, particularly as this fieldcontinues to attract new investigators who come with different backgrounds, such as molecular biology or developmental biology. They will find this work invaluable, but it will also become a key resource for other researchers who wish to follow the experimental documentation that has led to our current understanding of the light reactions of photosynthesis.
