Product Description

This book is ideal for radiologists, radiology residents, and CT technologists who are getting started in multidetector CT or who want to improve and optimize their CT service. This concise, practical guide and teaching file is the perfect introduction to MDCT volumetric imaging and 3D workstations. Designed as a practical, easy-to-read systematic learning tool, the book begins by introducing the reader to the process of image data acquisition, CT protocols, image reconstruction and review, 3D workstations, clinical workstation use, and CT workflow efficiency. The second part of this book presents volumetric imaging cases that demonstrate the techniques described in the opening chapters. Cases are organized in sections--vascular, pediatric, trauma, body, cardiac, orthopedic, and neuroimaging--presenting the history, diagnosis, and clinical significance throughout. Each case features high-quality, state-of-the-art color and black-and-white images representing the clinical situations. Cases are chosen to emphasize specific techniques and teaching points.

Intended for quick access, this teaching file condenses the "must-know" information in MDCT volumetric imaging into one convenient source.

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)
