„This comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of both live/realtime 3D transthoracic
and transesophageal echocardiography illustrates both normal andpathologic cardiovascular findings . . . it is a valuablecompendium for both novice and experienced practitioners.“(Fr. quote. com, 21 October 2010)
„The book has a beautiful graphical design and an easyto follow text layout. Most still images are in high-quality color. DVD-based video clips are an extremely useful feature. I had noproblem playing clips on the supplied DVD using Windows XP, Windows7 or Mac OS 10... The clips are cross-referenced to appropriatebook sections where readers can get in-depth descriptions of normaland pathological findings... Even an echocardiographerinexperienced in 3D ultrasound imaging will easily understand whatis depicted in each clip since all relevant cardiac structures andimportant findings are clearly labeled... In summary, Live/Real-Time 3D Echocardiography by Dr. Nanda andcolleagues should find place in the library of any modernechocardiographer interested in 3D imaging.“ MuhamedSaric, MD, PhD , Associate Professor of Medicine and Director ofOperations, Noninvasive Cardiology, New York University LangoneMedical Center, New York, August 2010
Live/Real Time 3D Echocardiography
von Navin Nanda, Ming Chon Hsiung, Andrew P. Miller und Fadi G. HageThis comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of both live/real time3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography illustratesboth normal and pathologic cardiovascular
findings. With more than 800 images that detail the technique ofperforming these studies and demonstrate various cardiovascularpathologies, as well as a DVD containing more than 350 movingimages, it is a valuable compendium for both novice and experiencedpractitioners.
The book opens with chapters on the history of 3Dechocardiography and basic and technical aspects of live/real time3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograpy, thenconsiders:
* normal anatomy, examination protocols, and the technique forperforming live/real time 3D transthoracic echocardiography
* abnormalities affecting the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, andpulmonary valves and the aorta
* prosthetic heart valves
* 3D echocardiographic assessment of left and right ventricularfunction, 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 advancesin 3D technology, real time full-volume imaging, and 3D walltracking, including 3D assessment of strain, strain rate, twist, and torsion.
Vividly demonstrating the superiority of 3D echocardiographyover conventional 2D imaging in several clinical situations, thiscarefully produced volume shows how to use the most recenttechnology for better assessment of cardiovascular disease.
