Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) I dedicate this book to my great teachers My father, Jae Keun Lim, MD, PhD My teacher and professor, Man Chung Han, MD, PhD And my mentor, Charles B. Higgins, MD Pref ace A long with technological advancement, cardiac computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) have been extensively used over the past decade. Although coro- nary angiography has been recognized as a reference standard for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, coronary CT angiography has replaced angiography in many clinical scenarios. Compared to conventional echocardiography, cardiac CT may provide additional anatomic information to diagnose structural heart diseases. With tissue characterization and quantitative evaluation of cardiac function, CMR has provided unique information for the diagnosis of various cardiac diseases. Newer generations of cardiac CTs with wider z-axis coverage and faster temporal resolution have facilitated the diagnosis of congenital heart disease and the evaluation of coronary stents and myocardial perfusion with an acceptable radiation dose. Recently introduced myocardial mapping techniques by CMR have helped to elucidate the pathophysiology of various myocardial diseases. With the technological advancement of hard- ware and software, clinical applications of cardiac CT and CMR will be dramatically expanded in the near future. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that radiologists and other imaging specialists should familiarize themselves with imaging techniques, pathophysiology, and imaging fi ndings of various cardiac diseases. T his case-oriented textbook is written to meet the needs of residents, radiologists, and clini- cians who want to learn the imaging fi ndings of various cardiac diseases on cardiac CT and CMR. The basic anatomy of the heart, imaging fi ndings of various cardiac diseases, and recent techniques of CT and CMR are thoroughly reviewed. This book contains many intriguing images showing the typical appearance of cardiac diseases. In particular, readers can scan QR codes for real-time online demonstration of cine imaging for the functional evaluation. CT images will also be offered online. We hope this textbook to be a companion of the reading room so the readers can fi nd various images quickly and easily in their everyday clinical practice. A fter the foundation of the Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (ASCI) in 2006, many Korean radiologists have devoted themselves to establishing ASCI as a leading cardiac imaging society in Asia. The Korean Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (KOSCI) has been acknowledged as a representative cardiovascular imaging society both at home and abroad. As a founding president of ASCI and a former president of KOSCI, I am deeply honored to invite many qualifi ed scholars from ASCI and KOSCI as co-authors for this book, including Professor Hajime Sakuma and Yeon Hyeon Choe. I would also like to appreciate Sang Il Choi, Dong Hyun Yang, Jeong A. Kim, Hyun Jung Koo, and Mi Sun Chung for their unreserved editorial assistance. Last, but not least, my very sincere appreciation and love goes to my wife Mi Ran, son Yang Kyu, and daughter Hye Yun for their lifelong endurance and support throughout my professional career.
