CT Teaching Manual (eBook)

Foreword
Computed tomography has become an integral and indispensable part of clinical diagnostics, with which special clinical questions can be answered with high accuracy in only a short time latency. The recent technical developments enable a spatial resolution in the submillimeter range for CT-supported angiographies, and with the help of dual source CT, also statements about the chemical composition of tissues or e.g. kidney stones. Above all, the development of PET/CT has made possible immense progress in oncology with regard to the diagnostic accuracy in the question of metastases or tumor recurrences. Modern imaging modalities are often not satisfactorily covered when teaching medical students in lectures and clinical courses. When leaving medical school, the knowledge gaps in this area can often be considerable.
All these aspects and recent developments have already been taken into account in this standard book on CT diagnostics, so that it offers the necessary basics for beginners, who are just familiarizing themselves with the subject, and is suitable for advanced users with a special radiological interest. The quiz cases, in particular, will hopefully arouse many readers` detective ambition to check their diagnostic skills themselves. The success story of 28 editions in 9 languages speaks for itself, and proves the broad acceptance of this book among German-speaking and international colleagues. I wish you a high learning benefit and lots of fun using this teaching manual!
