Coronary Radiology

Due to the enormous progress in multidetector CT technology as well as in magnetic resonance angiography, non-invasive coronary imaging has matured to become a clini­ cal tool in daily radio logic practice. Therefore this book is a timely addition to the series Medical Radiology - Diagnostic Imaging. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date work on alI aspects of non- invasive visualization of the coronary arteries that is currently available. The very latest develop­ ments in the field are alI described in this superbly illustrated volume. 1 am very much indebted to the editor of this volume, Professor M. Oudkerk ,a welI­ known international expert in cardiac radiology ,for his immense dedication and his tireless efforts to prepare and edit this outstanding volume in such a short time. 1 would like to congratulate him and the contributing authors , alI selected for their exceptional expertise, on the superb quality of the different chapters and the wide range of topics covered. This work will be a daily source of reference for aH radiologists and cardiologists involved in non-invasive coronary imaging and will provide a solid base of information for those taking their first steps in this fascinating field. 1 am confident that this outstanding volume will meet considerable success with the readership of our series.
