Imaging of the pediatric chest continues to evolve rapidly - and this is reflected in the fact that all of the chapters in this second edition of the classic and superbly illustrated reference work have been extensively updated. Readers will find additional disease-specific information and numerous new illustrations. The role of advanced technology in the diagnosis of pediatric chest disorders is highlighted, special attention being paid to the technical aspects of modern imaging modalities, their indications, and the diagnostic information that they supply.

In recent years, echocardiography has evolved from a qualitative diagnostic tool into a complex and sophisticated technique that is able to provide accurate, quantitative information driving the management of most cardiac diseases. Despite the availability, affordability and scientific value of advanced echocardiography techniques such as Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) and Speckle Tracking, there has been a lack of accessible information about their use in real-life medical practice. This practical book is the first comprehensive resource with truly international authorship covering the theory and clinical applications of advanced myocardial imaging as a diagnostic, monitoring and prognostic tool. * Edited by internationally recognized experts in cardiac imaging, Myocardial Imaging: Tissue Doppler and Speckle Tracking collates the latest research into a specific, in-depth resource. * The book focuses on how to use advanced cardiac imaging techniques in everyday clinical practice, presenting relevant material in a logical format. * Each chapter covers a different clinical application of TDI and Speckle Tracking techniques and is illustrated with full color images and tables, allowing quick and easy reference to clinically appropriate information. * It is accompanied by an invaluable CD of video clips that illustrate concepts in the text and provide real examples of echocardiography in practice. * Clear, concise key facts and summaries throughout the book enable fast decisions at point of care. This book is an invaluable resource for cardiologists, sonographers or other healthcare professionals who want to get the most out of the new technology available on echo machines.
