An Atlas of Contrast-Enhanced Angiography : Three-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Conventional coronary angiography can lead to infections, injuries to the arteries, and in rare cases, heart attack or death. Using the new, rapidly developing technique of contrast-enhanced angiography (CEA), also known as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), cardiologists can now quickly and effectively evaluate a broad range of vascular abnormalities, including the kinds of problems often seen with traditional echocardiography. An Atlas of Contrast-Enhanced Angiography uses images taken directly from the magnetic resonance scanner to illustrate the application of CEA to all the common path Book Cover......Page 1 Half-Title......Page 2 Title......Page 4 Copyright......Page 6 Contents......Page 8 Foreword......Page 10 Preface......Page 12 Acknowledgements......Page 13 1.
