Beschreibung:
This book covers the latest developments in imaging of atherosclerosis. Topics covered include multi-detector-row technology and the use of dual energy and multi-spectral imaging. Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging of carotid arteries, intra-cranial vessels, and coronary arteries are also discussed in detail. Special attention is given to Computer Tomography (CT) imaging of intra-cranial vessels, coronary arteries, and atherosclerosis in the lower limb. This is an ideal book for graduate students and researchers in the field of medical imaging, especially of atherosclerosis.
