Textbook of Three-Dimensional Echocardiography

Contains detailed information on technical aspects of three-dimensional echocardiography

Describes a variety of diseases affecting a range of cardiac structures

Features background on physics that support the implementation of both transthoracic and transesophageal approaches

About this Textbook

This thoroughly revised textbook provides a practically applicable guide to three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE).

Background is provided on the evolution of the technology and physics that support the implementation of both transthoracic and transesophageal approaches to 3DE.

The incremental value of 3DE to assess cardiac chambers is also described.

Moreover, a range of cardiac valvular diseases including the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valve have been portrayed and illustrated in depth.

These include congenital abnormalities, regurgitation and stenosis.

Emphasis is also placed on technical aspects of the technique and where it can provide added value, including post-surgery assessments and evaluation of cardiac masses.

Textbook of Three-Dimensional Echocardiography enables readers to develop a deep understanding of how to use this imaging modality.

It provides a valuable resource for the echocardiography trainee looking to develop their knowledge and for the experienced practitioner seeking a comprehensive up-to-date reference.
