Springer MDCT and 3D Workstations: A Practical How-To Guide and Teaching File

Special emphasis on teaching the CT technologists getting started in MDCT Review From the reviews: This is an excellent textbook on multidetector CT and 3D workstations. The author is to be congratulated on producing such a good quality tome single handed. Dr. A.K. Banerjee, Radmagazine "MDCT and 3D Workstations: A Practical Guide and Teaching File is a superb, up-to-date, and easily readable reference text. … The text is so well written that readers possessing any knowledge of medical imaging will be both impressed and interested. … This book is well organized. … This text meets both its intended purposes and the needs of the target audience. Given the quantity of the images and the breadth of the text, this book is reasonably priced and I highly recommend it." (Robert David Stoffey, Radiology, Vol. 243 (3), 2007) From the Back Cover Written by Scott A. Lipson, MD, an authority in the field, this book is ideal for radiologists, radiology residents, and CT technologists who are getting started in multidetector CT or who want to improve and optimize their CT service. This concise guide and teaching file is the perfect introduction to MDCT volumetric imaging and 3D workstations. Intended to serve as a practical, easy-to-read systematic learning tool, the book begins by introducing the reader to the process of image data acquisition, CT protocols, image reconstruction and review, 3D workstations, clinical workstation use, and CT workflow efficiency. The second section of this book is a volumetric imaging teaching file. Cases are logically organized by imaging focus―vascular, pediatric, trauma, body, cardiac, orthopedic, and neuroimaging―and present the history, diagnosis, and clinical significance. Emphasis is placed on specific techniques and teaching points. With quick access in mind, this teaching file condenses the "must-know" information in MDCT volumetric imaging into one convenient source. A wealth of illustrations, many in color, and tables adds to the user-friendly design.
