Cardiac Imaging Direct Diagnosis in Radiology is one of a series named Dx-Direct composed of 12 Thieme books covering the main subspecialties in radiology such as
gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and interventional radiology. The aim of the “Dx-Direct”
is not to present and describe all possible cardiovascular diseases but only the cases
radiologists are most likely to see in their typical working day. All the books in
the series discuss each condition or disease following the same format: Definitions
(Epidemiology, Etiology), Imaging Signs, Clinical Aspects (Typical Presentation, Treatment
Options, Course and Prognosis), Differential Diagnosis and key References. All sections
are well balanced, easy and fast to read, with just the right level of detail. Since
cardiac imaging has typically a multimodality approach, it is worthy of notice to
begin each Imaging Sign section indicating the modality of choice which would allow
the reader to reach the right diagnosis. Particularly valuable are the What Does the
Clinician Want to Know and the Tips and Pitfalls Sections, presented at the end of
each case, that discuss those aspects with simplicity, frequently introducing the
main clinical data not to be forgotten by the radiologist. The key references are
comprehensive and updated.
