Cardiovascular and Coronary Artery Imaging: Volume 2

by Ayman S. El-Baz (Editor), Jasjit S. Suri PhD, MBA, FIEEE, FAMIBE, FAIUM, FSVM, FAPVS (Editor)

Overview

Cardiovascular and Coronary Artery Imaging, Volume Two presents the basics of echocardiography, nuclear imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and provides insights into their appropriate use. The book covers state-of-the-art approaches for automated non-invasive systems for early cardiovascular and coronary artery disease diagnosis. It includes several prominent imaging modalities such as MRI, CT and PET technologies. Other sections focus on major trends and challenges in this area and present the latest techniques for cardiovascular and coronary image analysis.
