Opis

This book serves as a board review book for cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). CMR is now an essential part of cardiology training and there is yet to be a dedicated review book for the topic. This book seeks to fill that gap. With 150 questions and answers, this review provides a comprehensive and easily readable educational tool for trainees and cardiologists. The book is divided into 10 chapters, each about 15 questions. The multiple-choice questions cover topics according to the board examinations blueprints, including a wide spectrum of cardiac pathologies and concepts. Answers are supported by concise summaries and explanations to aid understanding. Each question also includes links to the latest resources and literature. This book helps readers not only prepare for CMR boards, but provides a good review of anatomy and pathology for cardiac imagers.
