Dear MDCT.net users,
Patients with cardiovascular pathologies require an
accurate—and often immediate—diagnosis so that appropriate treatments can begin. Contrast-enhanced
MDCT is a useful, advanced diagnostic tool for many cardiovascular diseases, both acute and
chronic.
This newsletter presents a collection of clinical cases covering different cardiovascular
regions, from the coronary arteries to the aorta and the cardiac chambers. In all of them, the use
of MDCT, together with the administration of an appropriate contrast medium, allowed the correct
diagnosis of a challenging clinical situation.
We hope you enjoy solving these cases. As always, we welcome suggestions for new topics to be
covered in future issues.
The MDCT.net team
