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."
