Live/Real Time 3D Echocardiography

Navin Nanda, Ming Chon Hsiung, Andrew P. Miller, Fadi G. Hage - Live/Real Time 3D Echocardiography
Published: 2010-08-02 | ISBN: 1405161418 | PDF | 312 pages | 38 MB


Now there is a source of recent information on the basic and clinical usefulness of real-time 3D echocardiography for echocardiographers, cardiologists, cardiac sonographers, and internists. This excellent reference helps clinicians improve pre- and post-surgical planning, attain better measurement of heart function, decrease exam times, and enhance patient communication.
The book opens with chapters on the history of 3D echocardiography and basic and technical aspects of live/real time 3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograpy, then considers:
* normal anatomy, examination protocols, and the technique for performing live/real time 3D transthoracic echocardiography
* abnormalities affecting the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves and the aorta
* prosthetic heart valves
* 3D echocardiographic assessment of left and right ventricular function, ischemic heart disease, and cardiomyopathies
* congenital cardiac lesions
* tumors and other mass lesions
* pericardial disorders
* live/real time 3D transesophageal echocardiography
It concludes with coverage of some of the most recent advances in 3D technology, real time full-volume imaging, and 3D wall tracking, including 3D assessment of strain, strain rate, twist, and torsion.
Vividly demonstrating the superiority of 3D echocardiography over conventional 2D imaging in several clinical situations, this carefully produced volume shows how to use the most recent technology for better assessment of cardiovascular disease.
