Anatomy of the Heart by Multislice Computed Tomography is the first text to bridge the gap between classical anatomy textbooks



and CT textbooks, presenting a side-by-side comparison of 'electronic' dissection made by CT scanning and traditionally hand-made anatomical dissection. Focusing on the fundament
