Measurement and interpretation of key ultrasound parameters are essential to differentiate normal anatomy from pathology. By using Measurement in Ultrasound, trainee radiologists and ultrasonographers can gain an appreciation of such measurements, while practitioners can use it as a valuable reference in the clinical setting.

The book follows a consistent format throughout for ease of reference and features useful information on preparation and positioning of the patient for ultrasound, the type of transducer and method to be used, the appearance of the resulting...

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.

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...

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
