The aims and
scope of this atlas include a complete review of the embryology of the normal
heart, the normal cardiac anatomy along with a complete discussion of the terms
and definitions used to identify and clarify both normal and abnormal anatomy.
In addition, techniques of cardiac CT angiography as it pertains to imaging
congenital abnormalities are discussed including radiation concepts and
radiation saving techniques. The bulk of this book then goes on to completely
review the field of adult congenital heart disease using text and more
importantly a multitude of pictorial examples (in color and grey scale) to
demonstrate the abnormalities. Drawings accompany each picture to better
explain the example. Furthermore, difficult and complex anatomical examples are
supplemented with digital images and movies to aid in illustrating and
understanding the anatomy. Each general set of anomalies as well as each
specific abnormality or set of abnormalities includes a concise and simple
review of the embryology and epidemiology of the abnormality as well as a
concise explanation of the anatomy of the abnormality. In addition, the methods
to identify and recognize the abnormality by computed tomography is discussed.
Finally, the prognosis and common treatment options for the anomaly are
addressed within this comprehensive book.
