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.
Contents: 1. Assessment of Cardiovascular Disease by Noninvasive
Cardiac Imaging Techniques, 2. Cardiac Computerized Tomography and
Angiography, 3. Nuclear Cardiac Imaging, 4. Echocardiographic Imaging
5. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging,
6. Prospects for Cardiovascular Imaging—Molecular Imaging. Index.
