Infos

This handbook is intended to help the physician and sonographer to learn echo concepts and techniques in a "e;user friendly"e; way, to help them perform studies and understand concepts in order to collect as much clinically useful information as possible on an individual patient. This book is written as a very practical and easy to read manual. Each chapter highlights the various aspects of echocardiography. Practical tips are displayed throughout the book. This text is well illustrated with 165 photographs and graphical illustrations. It will be useful to the echocardiographer and sonographer for practical guidance into performing a thorough goal-orientated study for a particular problem and for the physician/cardiologist in developing the interpretation.

Rezensionen

"Each chapter is well laid out and it is easy to see where the text
is leading. The authors have made good use of lists which are much
clearer than wading through lines of unnecessary prose. The text is
liberally interspersed with well annotated diagrams and
illustrations. A picture can say a thousand words and this has been
used to good advantage. Real-time ultrasound images and Doppler
traces are plentiful, are of good quality and have been reproduced
well. I was pleased to see that all the real-time ultrasound images
are reproduced as negatives (white on black) although the
illustration on the cover is a positive image!

The authors have been successful in making this a practical
handbook of echocardiography and interpretation. It is easy to read
and very well illustrated. There is no attempt to relate
echocardiography to other cardiac imaging modalities and this is no
substitute for a cardiology textbook. Those new to echocardiography
should find it helpful as they build up experience. The more
experienced echocardiographer may find it useful to refer to
specific chapters on unfamiliar subjects or use the references for
further study. By today's standards this is good value for money
and would be useful on the shelves of most departments. I suspect
those new to echocardiography will consider purchasing their own
copy."
