Description: Over the past few years, technologic advances in imaging now allow cardiologists to diagnose, noninvasively, a wide range of cardiac disorders from subclinical atherosclerosis, to obstructive coronary artery disease. This 500+ Question & Answer review book serves as the board prep product for all cardiologists/fellows/radiologists interested in certifying in this rapidly expanding area. Dr. Desai has used his personal experience in this year's first-ever cardiac CT board exam to develop questions that prepare trainees for the exam. Paul Schoenhagen, MD, the co-editor, is a physician in Diagnostic Radiology and Cardiovascular Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. All aspects of cardiovascular CT principles and physics, methodologies, and clinical practice are covered.
