Computed Tomography of the Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage: A Pictorial Essay on the Anatomy, Normal Variants, and Pathology

Computed Tomography of the Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage: A Pictorial Essay on the Anatomy, Normal Variants, and Pathology

Current advances in CT techniques allow thorough evaluation of the beating heart. The strengths of cardiac CT relative to echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging are its high availability in most institutions, rapid production of high-quality images, and outstanding delineation of the ana...
