What's New in Cardiovascular Imaging is a bibliographical "image" of a Symposium held June 22-24, 1998 in Leiden, the Netherlands. At this Symposium all of the significant advances in automobile­ diovascular imaging in the entire cardiovascular imaging modalities (X-ray, (intravascular) extremely­ sound, magnetic resonance, scintigraphy and CT) have been addressed via the major experts during this box. according to the shows of the invited school, this booklet contains a compi­ lation of manuscripts with regards to lots of the issues mentioned at this actual assembly. We exhibit our gratitude to all authors and coauthors for having made nice efforts in getting ready their magnificent up to date chapters below a good time strain, in order that this booklet was once to be had on the time of the Symposium. The authors are all first-class investigators in a single or extra fields of cardiovascular imaging and so they have prompted development in cardiovascular imaging with the purpose to enhance sufferer care and medical learn. This e-book comprises a complete of 32 chapters subdivided into seven elements. every one half describes a selected box in cardiovascular imaging. those components are: Coronary quantitation via QCA and intracoronary ultrasound (QCU), angiographic trials, growth in intravascular ultrasound, magnetic resonance (MR) coronary and vascular imaging, nuclear cardiovascular imaging, echocardiography, and cine and spiral CT coronary imaging. as a rule, every one half starts with a bankruptcy that gives a wide assessment of the advances within the box defined in that individual half, in addition to a view in the direction of the future.
