Imaging in Cardiovascular Disease

Recommended in the Brandon/Hill selected list of print books and journals for the small medical library - April 2001 & 2003 Imaging in Cardiovascular Disease provides the vital information clinicians need to accurately assess the complex array of cardiovascular imaging modalities and to determine their appropriate, cost-effective applications in clinical cardiology. The first section examines every major imaging technology--ultrasound-based methods, radionuclide-based methods/nuclear cardiology, X-ray methods, and magnetic resonance-based methods, as well as analytic approaches to cost-effectiveness and outcomes measurement. A major portion of the book describes the role of specific techniques in diagnosing specific disorders, thus providing a useful guide to choosing the right imaging test for a given clinical situation. The concluding section discusses the implications of managed care and other health care reforms for imaging applications. More than 600 illustrations complement the text. ***SPECIAL PRICE OFFER !*** Please note that a Special Price for this title of £95.00 / 153.00 Euros is available until the 1st May 2002 .
