Coronary CT Angiography in the Quantitative Analysis of Coronary Plaques cover
Also available at Amazon and Kobo

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the author's work which includes significant developments of coronary CT angiography in the diagnosis of coronary plaques. The main contributions of the book lie in the following areas: both 2D and 3D analysis of coronary plaques with coronary CT angiography, diagnostic value of coronary CT angiography with use of different multislice CT scanners, quantitative analysis of coronary plaques in terms of lumen assessment, and bifurcation angle analysis, in particular, the diagnostic performance of coronary CT angiography in calcified plaques, and finally, hemodynamic analysis of plaques with regard to the effects of plaques on coronary blood flow, and CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT).
