A host of imaging techniques are available to clinical cardiologists, including nuclear imaging, echocardiography, computerized tomography, and magnetic-resonance imaging. Chamber size, ventricular function, valvular function, coronary anatomy, and myocardial perfusion are among a wide array of cardiac characteristics that can all be assessed noninvasively.
Cardiovascular Imaging systematically reviews each of these major techniques and provides clinical data from well-designed research studies. Following a brief overview of non-invasive cardiac imaging and the stress modalities used to detect coronary disease, case-based chapters are devoted to each of the various imaging techniques. The final chapter provides a glimpse of future possibilities, particularly with respect to molecular imaging. The text is illustrated throughout with amply-sized images.
Demonstrating the values and limitations of the imaging techniques, the book enables practitioners to determine which test, in which patient population, and for which purpose would be the most appropriate to use.

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.
—Fay Ahmad, Echo, June 2010
Well written...The evidence used to support each modality is up to date...the 18 cases covering cardiac radionuclide imaging are particularly good...Overall it is nicely written and provides a sound text for the inexperienced reader looking to expand his/her knowledge.
—James Stirrup, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, July 2010
Concise and easy to read with well referenced chapters, perfect for a radiology / cardiology trainee, or other health care practitioner with interest in this subject. Its strength lies in the fact that it covers all non-invasive cardiovascular imaging modalities with a streamlined approach...Well written and presented...Images are generally of good quality...a well written basic cardiovascular imaging book that is informative in both its text and in the clinical cases illustrated.

Deals systematically with all types of cardiac imaging: nuclear echo, CT and MRInContains excellent illustrations many as case-based examples.nTakes a look into the future Molecular imaging
The purpose of this book is to provide up-to-date technical and practical information aboutnvarious cardiac imaging techniques for the assessment of cardiac function and perfusion, as well asntheir potential relative roles in clinical imaging. This book also aims to stimulate use of the newndevelopments of integrated cardiovascular imaging and molecular targeted imaging. It will be thencharge of future investigators and clinicians to define the appropriate role(s) for each of thenimaging modalities discussed in this book. As distinct from other textbooks, this book providesnnumerous illustrations of clinical cases for each imaging modality to guide the reader in thendiagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and the management of patients based on the imagingnmodality used. We hope that this book will help the reader to understand the values andnlimitations of the imaging techniques and to determine which test, in which patient population,nand for which purpose would be the most appropriate to use.nYi-Hwa LiunFrans J.

Klappentext
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 and nuclear physicians.
