An international conference of experts on Cardiovascular Imaging by Ultrasound was held in Aachen from 26-27 April,1991 It supplied brand-new and interesting insights into what has already been attained in ultrasound-based cardiovascular medical diagnosis and treatment and what will be presented in medical practice in the near future. Considering that the introduction of ultrasound in scientific practice in 1984 there has actually been no other physical concept that has actually added and will continue to add a lot to medical diagnosis and treatment. Echocardiography, once developed as a non-invasive diagnostic tool, is increasingly ending up being an intrusive strategy for cardiovascular imaging. This book consists of the edited contributions from 38 scientists and engineers from all over the world who provided the most current findings on 2-dimensional echocardiography, different Doppler methods, contrast and tension echocardiography and the different modalities of transesophageal echocardiography, including mono-, bi- and multiplane TEE, in addition to pulsed and CW-Doppler application by means of TEE. Interesting and promising developments are discussed in the field of intravascular ultrasound, tissue characterization, ultrasound ablation, ultrasound-based 3-dimensional reconstruction of the heart, and high frequency Doppler analysis.
