Cardiac Imaging: A Core Review is the fifth book added to the Core Review Series. This book covers the most important aspects of cardiac imaging in a manner that I am confident will serve as a useful guide for residents to assess their knowledge and review the material in a question-style format that is similar to the ABR Core examination.

Dr. Joe Hsu, Dr. Amar Shah, and Dr. Jean Jeudy have succeeded in producing a book that exemplifies the philosophy and goals of the Core Review Series. They have done an excellent job in covering key topics and providing quality images on a subject matter that many residents find most challenging. The multiple-choice questions have been divided logically into chapters so as to make it easy for learners to work on particular topics as needed. Each question has a corresponding answer with an explanation of not only why a particular option is correct but also why the other options are incorrect. There are also references provided for each question for those who want to delve more deeply into a specific subject. This format is also useful for radiologists preparing for the Maintenance of Certification (MOC).

The intent of the Core Review Series is to provide the resident, fellow, or practicing physician a review of the important conceptual, factual, and practical aspects of a subject by providing approximately 300 multiple-choice questions, in a format similar to the ABR Core examination. The Core Review Series is not intended to be exhaustive but to provide material likely to be tested on the ABR Core examination, and that would be required in clinical practice.

As the Series Editor of the Core Review Series, I have had the pleasure to work with many outstanding individuals across the country who contributed to the series. This series represents countless hours of work and involvement by many, and it would not have come together without their participation.
