Spiral CT of the Chest. Diagnostic Imaging: Foreword by Albert L. Baert

This volume provides detailed information on the key applications of spiral CT for each anatomical zone of the chest. Special emphasis is placed on those areas where spiral CT has documented advantages over conventional CT, and on its newer applications in CT angiography and three-dimensional CT imaging. Necessary background information on principles and technical considerations is also supplied. The expertise of the authors, the scope of the text, and the numerous high-quality illustrations combine to ensure that the volume will fully acquaint the reader with the current state of the art in the use of spiral CT in the evaluation of thoracic pathology.
