THIS MONTH’S HIGHLIGHT

Cardiac CT in the assessment of left ventricle disease

Dear public.pixelentropy.eu/mdct-new users,

For left ventricle pathology, cardiac CT has become the most reliable diagnostic imaging modality today. Cardiac CT permits the accurate assessment of congenital valve abnormalities and acquired diseases of the valves and muscles, for example due to degenerative and ischemic causes. 

The use of CT in left ventricle imaging is highlighted this month, with Professor Paul’s latest Focus on, two new clinical cases, a book review, a selection of research papers and an e-book.

We remind you that suggestions for new topics to be covered in future issues are welcomed: please contact us at editorial@public.pixelentropy.eu/mdct-new.
