This book fills a scarcity of practical, reliable resources from which to gain expertise in peripheral CT Angiography, providing a how-to manual and step-by-step reference guide to this increasingly common procedure.
Despite the exponential growth in the use of peripheral CTA in the diagnosis and follow-up of vascular disease patients, practical sources from which to gain valuable expertise in this field remain scarce. There is becoming a great need for experts in the field of peripheral CTA, yet learning this imaging modality may be intimidating and time consuming. Very few if any, small, concise and portable books exist to ease training in this field and current books in this field are overwhelming, difficult to manage, text books that often combine CTA and MRI. A so called " how to manual" and reference guide to explain this technique from beginning to end, which compiles valuable, and difficult to obtain clinical pearls and descriptions of disease processes will be of tremendous value. The Peripheral CT Angiography Manual aims to make learning this intimidating technique and the diseases for which it applies simple and fun.

From the reviews:
"An excellent attempt to bring together comprehensive information in a small format on procedures which have now become commonplace in imaging departments with modern CT scanners. ... Each chapter has plenty of images ... demonstrating anatomy of various vascular regions as well as different abnormalities, except the one on peripheral CTA. ... this book fills the gap in the market on this important topic. ... a handy reference manual to any CT scanner facility, as well as useful for a more serious reader."
