Preface
Permanent research in the field of medical radio-imaging concerning the non- invasive exploration of the circulatory system has led to the appearance and increasing use of the CT multislice for diagnostic purposes. The acquisition by Neuromed Timisoara of the first computed tomography 64 multislice has placed Romania among the countries using state-of-the-art non-invasive technologies for diagnostic purposes. It is used not only for routine investigations but also in the diagnosis of cardiovascular pathology. Worldwide, the existence and use of this technique avoids almost entirely the use of invasive methods for diagnostic purposes, which takes place only in exceptional circumstances. The invasive part of the diagnosis, which is extremely unpleasant to the patient, is thus eliminated from the diagnostic process, and patients now have the possibility of the diagnosis of vascular pathology without hospitalisation. The technique is also beneficial to the doctors, as it enables them to identify and visualise the exact location of the damaged area, the anatomic details and the severity of lesions leading to a more appropriate planning of the operating techniques by
