Intracardiac Echocardiography is the first echocardiographic textbook of its kind to specifically cover ICE. Discussing all aspects of intracardiac ultrasound, it allows readers to perfect ICE image acquisition and helps to guide interpretation of this information during interventional and electrophysiologic procedures.

Unique and informative, the text explores:

• introductory echo physics


• currently available intracardiac ultrasound systems


• basic image acquisition


• the role of ICE in both the interventional and electrophysiology...

Proper ultrasound examination and interpretation hinges on thorough knowledge of the relevant anatomy, artifacts, and technique. This book provides an excellent foundation by going beyond pathology and concentrating on these fundamentals. Basic physics and artifact recognition and prevention are outlined. Chapters review essential anatomy and include images and tables that highlight relevant bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Sites of attachment and the best positions for examination are also noted. Technique is presented via a three-tiered approach and photographs of patients...

This book introduces the fundamental aspects of digital imaging and covers four main themes: ultrasound techniques and imaging applications, magnetic resonance and MPJ in hospital, digital imaging with X-rays, and emission tomography (PET and SPECT).

Each topic is developed by analyzing the underlying physics principles and their implementation, quality and safety aspects, clinical performance, and recent advancements in the field.

This is the second edition of a well-received book that has been recommended for inclusion in any vascular library or vascular radiology suite. The first edition has been fully revised so as to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date account of vascular ultrasound that reflects recent advances. The emphasis remains on the clinical aspects most relevant to angiologists and vascular surgeons. Ultrasound anatomy is discussed, examination procedures explained, normal and pathological findings described, and the clinical impact of ultrasound assessed. Atlas sections present pertinent case material...

Il volume presenta una completa analisi delle applicazioni dei mezzi di contrasto ecografici a livello addominale, ed e principalmente diretto agli istituti di scienza delle immagini ed agli ospedali dove vengono correntemtne utilizzati i mezzi di contrasto ecografici nella pratica clinica. Peraltro, il libro si rivolge anche a medici e studiosi non ancora coinvolti nelle applicazioni cliniche dei mezzi di contrasto ecografici ma che desiderano avere un quadro generale delle possibili applicazioni a livello addominale.

Praise for this book:

This book appears to be a useful tool for different levels of users --
not just physicians. The topics provide information on best approaches for
beginners while the illustrations better define acquisition data and may be
helpful to individuals with more experience. The book would be useful for
students and technologists in all disciplines and specialties to help understand
sonographic imaging. -- Kathleen Drotar, Radiologic
