CT Course Book – Book

The CT Course Book is intended for beginners in computed tomography: In addition to a comprehensive CT anatomy atlas covering the entire body from head to toe, it provides concise and clear descriptions of the physical and general fundamentals, as well as a brief “ABC” of CT image interpretation and patient preparation. For each region of the body, important or common pathological cases are also presented. It also includes helpful information on contrast agent administration, managing reactions to contrast agents, radiation protection, and CT angiography. The advantages of dual-source CT and PET/CT diagnostics are also explained using illustrative examples. At the end of each chapter, quizzes (picture puzzles and video clips) allow students to check their understanding and reinforce the material.
