Due to the enormous progress in multidetector CT technology as well as in magnetic resonance angiography, non-invasive coronary imaging has matured to become a clini cal tool in daily radio logic practice. Therefore this book is a timely addition to the series Medical Radiology - Diagnostic Imaging. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date work on alI aspects of non- invasive visualization of the coronary arteries that is currently available. The very latest develop ments in the field are alI described in this superbly illustrated volume. 1 am very much indebted to the editor of this volume, Professor M. Oudkerk ,a welI known international expert in cardiac radiology ,for his immense dedication and his tireless efforts to prepare and edit this outstanding volume in such a short time. 1 would like to congratulate him and the contributing authors , alI selected for their exceptional expertise, on the superb quality of the different chapters and the wide range of topics covered. This work will be a daily source of reference for aH radiologists and cardiologists involved in non-invasive coronary imaging and will provide a solid base of information for those taking their first steps in this fascinating field. 1 am confident that this outstanding volume will meet considerable success with the readership of our series.
