Handbook of Echo-Doppler Interpretation

This second edition of the successful Handbook of Echo-Doppler Interpretation is intended to help physicians and sonographers apply echo concepts and techniques daily in the echocardiography laboratory. Concise and practical, this text includes tips and illustrations that serve as a guide for obtaining the most information from an echocardiographic study. In addition, chapters discussing ultrasound physics, machine instrumentation, and fluid mechanics, amongst others, make this text an excellent resource for the physician preparing for the ASEeXAM, and the sonographer studying for the cardiac sonongraphy registry examinations. It is our intent that this text will be referred to often, providing practical help during performance and interpretation of the echocardiogram.
