Description
In Cardiovascular Imaging the authors deal systematically with the main imaging techniques available to clinical cardiologists: nuclear imaging, echocardiography, computerized tomography and magnetic-resonance imaging. Following a brief overview of non-invasive cardiac imaging and the stress modalities used to detect coronary disease, a mainly case-based chapter is devoted to each of the imaging techniques in turn. The final chapter takes a look into the future, particularly to molecular imaging. The text is illustrated throughout with generously-sized images.
Cardiovascular Imaging is intended for use by clinical cardiologists, cardiologists in training, radiologists, technicians and nuclear physicians.
Reviews / Votes
Well written, concise, easy to read and flows in an easy to understand manner. expertly written, well referenced chapters which include very useful clinical data from well designed research studies. A well written basic imaging textbook that is informative for the healthcare practitioner trainee and the imaging specialist.More details

Content
Assessment of Cardiovascular Disease by Noninvasive Cardiac Imaging Techniques. Cardiac Computerized Tomography and Angiography. Nuclear Cardiac Imaging. Echocardiographic Imaging. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Prospects for Cardiovascular Imaging-Molecular Imaging.
The purpose of this book is to provide up-to-date technical and practical information about
various cardiac imaging techniques for the assessment of cardiac function and perfusion, as well as
their potential relative roles in clinical imaging. This book also aims to stimulate use of the new
developments of integrated cardiovascular imaging and molecular targeted imaging. It will be the
charge of future investigators and clinicians to define the appropriate role(s) for each of the
imaging modalities discussed in this book. As distinct from other textbooks, this book provides
numerous illustrations of clinical cases for each imaging modality to guide the reader in the
diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and the management of patients based on the imaging
modality used. We hope that this book will help the reader to understand the values and
limitations of the imaging techniques and to determine which test, in which patient population,
and for which purpose would be the most appropriate to use.
