The interpretation of MR images of congenital heart disease can be difficult without previous experience or formal training. This book provides insight into specific, pathologic conditions along with key MR and CT images depicting the pathology with a clear interpretation. Each image is detailed and clearly labeled with a central key for the specific condition, allowing the reader to track anatomical structures through the separate imaging planes. A concise yet clear interpretation of each image is given to aid learning. The imaging planes and protocols used to obtain the images are presented, allowing the user to plan future MR studies of patients with similar conditions.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: “Cardiovascular MRI in Congenital Heart Disease … is an excellent example of what a small imaging atlas should be. It is short but concise, filled with beautiful images and diagrams, and packed with high-yield information. … the still images are of excellent quality, and the findings are well demonstrated. … an excellent reference atlas for reviewing the appearance of congenital cardiac anomalies on MRI scans. … could be exceptionally useful to any reader asked to perform an MRI scan on patients with congenital heart disease.” (Daniel Cornfeld, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 304 (21), December, 2010)

From the Back Cover

This new and unique clinical resource offers rapid access to high-quality images covering a broad spectrum of paediatric and adult cardiac pathologies visualized using MRI and CT. Key images of each condition and a clear interpretation of their MR appearances allow for greater understanding of the pathology. Focus is given to the planning of imaging planes, techniques and sequences to obtain the best images and improve MR assessment. This text would benefit all health professionals involved in imaging congenital cardiac disease.
