This comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of both live/real time
3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography illustrates
both normal and pathologic cardiovascular

findings. With more than 800 images that detail the technique of
performing these studies and demonstrate various cardiovascular
pathologies, as well as a DVD containing more than 350 moving
images, it is a valuable compendium for both novice and experienced
practitioners.

The book opens with chapters on the history of 3D
echocardiography and basic and technical aspects of live/real time
3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograpy, then
considers:

* normal anatomy, examination protocols, and the technique for
performing live/real time 3D transthoracic echocardiography

* abnormalities affecting the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and
pulmonary valves and the aorta

* prosthetic heart valves

* 3D echocardiographic assessment of left and right ventricular
function, ischemic heart disease, and cardiomyopathies

* congenital cardiac lesions

* tumors and other mass lesions

* pericardial disorders

* live/real time 3D transesophageal echocardiography

It concludes with coverage of some of the most recent advances
in 3D technology, real time full-volume imaging, and 3D wall
tracking, including 3D assessment of strain, strain rate, twist,
and torsion.

Vividly demonstrating the superiority of 3D echocardiography
over conventional 2D imaging in several clinical situations, this
carefully produced volume shows how to use the most recent
technology for better assessment of cardiovascular disease.

Rezensionen

"This comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of both live/real
time 3D transthoracic

and transesophageal echocardiography illustrates both normal and
pathologic cardiovascular findings . . . it is a valuable
compendium for both novice and experienced practitioners."

"The book has a beautiful graphical design and an easy
to follow text layout. Most still images are in high-quality color.
DVD-based video clips are an extremely useful feature. I had no
problem playing clips on the supplied DVD using Windows XP, Windows
7 or Mac OS 10...The clips are cross-referenced to appropriate
book sections where readers can get in-depth descriptions of normal
and pathological findings...Even an echocardiographer
inexperienced in 3D ultrasound imaging will easily understand what
is depicted in each clip since all relevant cardiac structures and
important findings are clearly labeled...In summary,
Live/Real-Time 3D Echocardiography by Dr. Nanda and
colleagues should find place in the library of any modern
echocardiographer interested in 3D imaging." Muhamed
