Product Description

This new book covers the use of imaging as a diagnostic tool for a variety of cardiac problems. While there are many modality-based imaging references on the market, this one is unique in that the various modalities are discussed in brief but appropriate detail, but concentrates on the utilisation of these modalities in the investigation of cardiovascular disease. The organisation by topic is useful for comparison of the various techniques and imaging choices.
