Description
The second edition of this atlas presents a wealth of normal and pathologic findings observed on CT angiography with 3D reconstruction in diverse clinical applications, including the imaging of cerebral, carotid, thoracic, coronary, abdominal, and peripheral vessels. The superb illustrations display the excellent anatomic detail obtained with CT angiography and depict the precise location of affected structures and lesion severity. Careful comparisons between normal imaging features and pathologic appearances will assist the reader in image interpretation and treatment planning, and the described cases include some very rare pathologies. In addition, the technical principles of the modality are clearly explained and guidance provided on imaging protocols. This edition is the outcome of 18 years of work by a renowned radiological team whose research focuses specifically on vascular pathology of the whole body and the role of CT angiography in its assessment. Numerous new images are presented and three additional chapters address cerebral arteriovenous malformations, congenital cardiac malformations in children and CT venography. The atlas will be invaluable for radiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and medical students..
Reviews
This will be an excellent resource for cardiothoracic trainees and experienced surgeons for those attempting robotic surgeries initially or for those performed infrequently. Readers will benefit from the experience of the authors who are recognized experts globally. … Illustrations are quite helpful for port placement and setup as well as the conduct of operations. The book could benefit from additional intraoperative photos. Overall, it covers the full breadth of robotic thoracic surgery. (Nathan Zwintscher, Doody’s Book Reviews, July 05, 2019)
