Atlas of Three-Dimensional Echocardiography

Atlas of Three-Dimensional Echocardiography offers the greatest visual impact of any book currently available in a field based entirely on the visual acquisition of information. It also provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the relatively new techniques of three-dimensional echocardiography, with more thorough coverage of a wider range of issues.

Nearly 700 carefully chosen and well-described illustrations are presented, including the highest quality colour reproductions of relevant acquisition and imaging techniques. the atlas format is uniquely suited to instruct the reader in the interpretation of normal and pathologic cardiac findings, diagnosed through three- and four-dimensional transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography. Current issues and practices, as well as ongoing developments and possible future applications of this technology, are also discussed.
