CMR and MDCT in Cardiac Masses From Acquisition Protocols to Diagnos
This book, unique in focusing specifically on cardiac masses, is the result of cooperation among a number of teams of radiologists working under the aegis of the French Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (SFICV). Its goal is to 1) review the different CMR

Foreword
Cardiac masses pose difficult diagnostic challenges. Although many cardiac tumours are today operable, the complexity of any surgery involved requires accurate pre-operative imaging. Several imaging modalities including cardiac magnetic resonance and computed tomography are used for this assessment, often used in combination. Because cardiac tumours are relatively rare, there is a great demand for textbooks providing guidance on imaging protocols and typical imaging findings for different tumours and cardiac masses. The textbook CMR and MDCT in Cardiac Masses edited by A. Jacquier is an outstanding contribution to this field. It provides a practical guide to the typical CT and MRI features of cardiac masses, is enriched with high quality case examples and provides tables summarizing important imaging findings and gives useful diagnostic algorithms. As such it will make an invaluable everyday companion to cardiac imagers and other clinicians involved in the care of
