Main description:

It is our great pleasure to propose you the "Flash Imaging" Cases Collection, adapted from the FLASH Imaging book. This compendium gives you a comprehensive source of scan and contrast protocols as well as additional information for new and important indications for the second-generation Dual-Source CT (DSCT) scanner, the Siemens SOMATOM Definition Flash. All contributing centers have been asked to focus on optimizing both the scan and the contrast parameters, since contrast media delivery has become an increasingly critical element of contrast enhanced procedures in modern CT imaging. The protocols also aim to achieve excellent images with the lowest possible radiation exposure by exploiting the unique features of the SOMATOM Definition Flash.

Contents:
