From its humble beginnings in the 1950's as an adaptation of marine
sonar systems, echocardiography has recently grown rapidly in its
usage and importance. Advanced computer techniques now allow imaging
of the heart in many planes through many 'windows'. Each section of
this book contains all forms of ultrasound imaging including transesophageal
(TOE), intra-operative, epicardial and intravascular as well as the
more standard types. The book's purpose is to improve diagnosis of
cardiac disease through the use of the latest echocardiographic methods
of investigation. It will appeal to physicians in training and in
practice, to technicians and radiologists interested in ultrasound.
