Imaging Coronary Atherosclerosis

From the book reviews: "This book reviews the advances in coronary imaging, succinctly describing the roles of old and new technology. The purpose is to assist physicians in the evaluation and management of patients with coronary artery disease. The book meets the objectives using an evidence-based approach. The book is written for practitioners. It would be very useful in the hands of a cardiovascular physician." (Bruce Wilson, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2014)
