Opis

Three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a powerful visual tool which the novice or experienced echocardiographer, cardiologist, or cardiac surgeon can use to achieve a better understanding and assessment of normal and pathological cardiac function and anatomy. A complement to traditional 2D imaging, 3D TEE enables visualization of any cardiac structure from multiple perspectives. For the echocardiographer, it demands a different set of skills for image acquisition and manipulation. Real-Time Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography is a practical illustrated step-by-step guide to the latest in 3D technology and image acquisition. Each chapter systematically focuses on different cardiac structures with practical tips to image acquisition. Features

• Up-to-date
• Synoptic presentation of essential "how-to" and relevant clinical information
• More than 300 color figures
• Practical fundamentals, including altered knobology, and how to acquire and manipulate image datasets
• Systematic identification of special diagnostic issues
• Normal and abnormal cardiac pathology
• Supplemented by the Virtual TEE Perioperative Interactive Education (PIE) website which provides free access to online resources for teaching and learning TEE: http: //pie.med.utoronto.ca/TEE
