Imaging of the cardiovascular system has made much progress during the past several years. This book addresses the issues surrounding development and clinical utilization of techniques for diagnosis in valvular, coronary artery, and congenital heart disease. Included among the evaluation modalities are Doppler ultrasound, contrast 2-D echocardiography, thallium scintigraphy, nuclear magnetic resonance and emission tomography (CT, ECT, SPECT, PET). Advantages and disadvantages of these modes are discussed, and compared to each other and to older methods such as cardiac catheterization and angiography. Consideration is given to the use of the computer as an aid to the cardiologist.
