This is a new, comprehensive book about the continuously evolving topic of coronary CT angiography. The book is divided into 12 chapters, of which most have been written by the editor, Dr. Marc Dewey, a radiologist at La Charité Hospital in Berlin. The scope of this book is to help radiologists in daily practice, by providing information on the current technical status and applications of coronary CT angiography; limitations of coronary CT are also described. Each chapter is illustrated with numerous figures.
The first three chapters introduce coronary CT angiography, describe the required skills and instrumentation, and review cardiac anatomy. The role of CT in clinical cardiology is addressed in the next two chapters, while the following two chapters provide useful and practical information about patient preparation, examination and reconstruction. 
One unique point of this book (chapter 8) is that it describers how coronary CT angiography is performed on the four commercially available CT systems (Toshiba, Siemens, Philips and General Electric), thereby providing important practical information for every user entering this field.  In addition, the book describes Philips' prospective “step and shoot” mode in comparison to the usual retrospective mode.
How to read and report an examination is nicely described in chapter 9, in a pedagogic fashion, with emphasis on the most common artefacts; examples of clinical reports are provided. Chapter 10 summarizes common clinical results from coronary CT angiography, using more than 50 cases. Moreover, common non-cardiac findings – which should not be forgotten during the examination – are also illustrated. Usefully, chapter 11 focuses on the diagnostic performance of coronary CT angiography, for imaging the coronary arteries and their bypasses and stents and for studying cardiac function. The last chapter describes the anticipated technical developments with regards to coronary CT.
In summary, Coronary CT angiography is an easy-to-read and nicely illustrated book that emphasizes problems encountered in daily practice.  It may be recommended for beginners in this field, irrespective of the model of CT scanner being used.
