Book excerpt: New MSCT machines produce a volume data set with the highestisotropic spatial resolution ever seen, offering superb 3D imagesof the entire heart and vessels. The texts currently available on cardiac CT imaging mainly focuson visualizing pathological aspects of coronary arteries. Anatomyof the Heart by Multislice Computed Tomography is the first text tobridge the gap between classical anatomy textbooks and CTtextbooks, presenting a side-by-side comparison of‘electronic’ dissection made by CT scanning andtraditionally hand-made anatomical dissection. Focusing on the fundamentals as well as the details of cardiacanatomy in a clinical setting using MSCT, this is an invaluablereference for cardiac imaging trainees, cardiologists,radiologists, interventionists and electrophysiologists, providinga better understanding of the cardiac structures, coronary arteriesand veins anatomy and their 3-dimensional spatialrelationships.
