Written by experts who are internationally known for their pioneering work in spiral CT, this volume is a state-of-the-art guide to the techniques and clinical applications of CT angiography of the chest. The authors demonstrate the capabilities and uses of CT angiography in assessing the pulmonary vasculature and aorta and detecting pulmonary embolism, chest trauma, vascular diseases of the lung, thoracic outlet syndromes, and SVC syndromes. More than 200 detail-revealing CT angiography images provide a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the pulmonary vasculature, the normal variants that must be distinguished from pathology, and the appearances of different pathologic entities.
