Cardiac CT and MR for Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Farhood Saremi, MD, is Professor or Radiology in the Department of Radiology at Keck Hospital, University of Southern California. He received his medical degree from and competed his radiology residency at the University of Tehran where he subsequently served as Assistant Professor of Radiology. Upon moving to the United States, Dr. Saremi completed a radiology residency at the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, and fellowships in neuroradiology and body imaging. He has previously served a joint appointment of Professor of Radiology and Medicine at the University of California, Irvine, as well as Chief of Cardiothoracic Section. To further his specialization in noninvasive cardiovascular imaging, Dr. Saremi completed subspecialty fellowships in Cardiovascular MRI at Duke Medical Center and Cardiovascular CT at University of California, Irvine.

From the reviews: "This book illustrates the evolving use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in congenital heart disease. The increased number of adults with congenital heart diseases has resulted in a need for better imaging modalities, which this book provides. The intended audience includes CT/MR technicians, cardiology fellows, cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and structural heart disease specialists." (Jonathan Bonilla, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2014)
