Abstract: Part of the AHA Clinical Series, Novel Techniques in Imaging the Heart brings the recent dramatic changes in the field of cardiovascular imaging into the clinical setting. With the most up-to-date information on CT and MRI, this book enables the clinician to best use the technology at hand.
