Opis

The interpretation of MR images of congenital heart disease can be difficult. This book provides insight into specific, pathologic conditions along with hundreds of MR and CT images. A concise yet clear interpretation of each image is given to aid learning.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"Cardiovascular MRI in Congenital Heart Disease ... is an excellent example of what a small imaging atlas should be. It is short but concise, filled with beautiful images and diagrams, and packed with high-yield information. ... the still images are of excellent quality, and the findings are well demonstrated. ... an excellent reference atlas for reviewing the appearance of congenital cardiac anomalies on MRI scans. ... could be exceptionally useful to any reader asked to perform an MRI scan on patients with congenital heart disease." (Daniel Cornfeld, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 304 (21), December, 2010)
