Index.

"This comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of both live/real
time 3D transthoracic

and transesophageal echocardiography illustrates both normal and
pathologic cardiovascular findings . . . it is a valuable
compendium for both novice and experienced practitioners."
(Fr.quote.com, 21 October 2010)



"The book has a beautiful graphical design and an easy
to follow text layout. Most still images are in high-quality color.
DVD-based video clips are an extremely useful feature. I had no
problem playing clips on the supplied DVD using Windows XP, Windows
7 or Mac OS 10...The clips are cross-referenced to appropriate
book sections where readers can get in-depth descriptions of normal
and pathological findings...Even an echocardiographer
inexperienced in 3D ultrasound imaging will easily understand what
is depicted in each clip since all relevant cardiac structures and
important findings are clearly labeled...In summary,
Live/Real-Time 3D Echocardiography by Dr. Nanda and
colleagues should find place in the library of any modern
echocardiographer interested in 3D imaging." Muhamed
