This book provides younger radiologists with a practical guide to aortic imaging, from acquisition to reporting. It discusses the pros and cons of the different available techniques and offers tips for the optimization of acquisition protocols and it covers the most frequent aortic pathologies, from a diagnostic and interventional point of view. Report building is discussed starting from standardized terminology; for each pathology, the book lists, in a simple and schematic way, the key points that must be included in the report of a cross-sectional study. Checklists used by clinicians and radiologists in routine practice are also included, and iconography is enriched by numerous stand-alone images.
The Authors have long-standing experience in cardiovascular imaging and interventional procedures and with this publication they are providing a useful guide in everyday clinical practice.
