Review: Multisliced computer tomography (MSCT) gives superb images of the entire heart, showing relationships between cardiac structures. Images of the heart obtained by MSCT can be interpreted both from a radiological and from a cardiological standpoint. MSCT allows radiologists to familiarize themselves with cardiac anatomy and cardiologists to examine the axial, coronal and sagittal planes that are used for MSCT images. This well-illustrated volume is designed to clarify the anatomy. There are ten chapters, each showing the body planes, cardiac planes and cardiac structures, such as the cardiac chambers, cardiac valves, septa, coronary arteries and coronary veins from a number of perspectives. The CD-ROM contains video clips referenced in the text.
