Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 10 in the Echocardiography Illustrated series--Ultrasound Physics: B-Mode Echocardiography with Introduction to Doppler, presents a highly-visual summary of the basic physics of ultrasound and instrumentation involved in "Brightness-Mode" or B-Mode (Gray scale) anatomical imaging and Doppler Echocardiography. This book is an illustrated treatise of ultrasound physics, using cardiac ultrasonography (echocardiography) as its primary focus. Understanding the fundamental concepts of ultrasound physics as it pertains to the heart, stretches the versatility and boundaries of ultrasound and Doppler physics--harnessing the full range and power of diagnostic ultrasound technology. Therefore, if you understand the intricacies of cardiac ultrasound physics, you'll understand general ultrasound physics, and much more. This volume presents more than just information required to pass board and registry examinations, it graphically nails down the fundamental principles and concepts with visual clarity, thereby facilitating greater grasp and understanding of the foundations of diagnostic medical sonography.By demystifying ultrasound physics, it is my hope that the reader can confidently appreciate and even enjoy the essence of this fascinating technology, whether in practice, or when confronting examination questions with confidence--instead of fear and bewilderment.I trust that this volume will simplify, clarify, and hopefully delight all who harness the power of this transformative technology.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to present an overview of the exciting new cardiac imaging technique of tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE). In order to understand the background of this technique, it is necessary to compare the physical properties of blood, which reflects ultrasound poorly but moves with high velocity (up to 150 cm/s) with those of the myocar dium, which reflects ultrasound strongly but moves with low velocity (less than 10 cm/s). In tissue Doppler imaging, existing Doppler technology has been modified to bypass the high-pass filter and enhance calculation of low velocities, thus enabling selective visualization of the myocardium rather than of the blood. Because the color Doppler tissue images are super imposed on the conventional two-dimensional ultrasound images, this technique is known as TDE. Following a brief introduction, the history of ultrasound and Doppler imaging is presented. It is now about 150 years since the death of Christian Doppler, who described the "Doppler" effect, and more than 100 years since Pierre Curie discovered the piezoelectric effects of crystals. TDE was developed by Nobuo Yamazaki and Yoshitaka Mine at the Medi cal Engineering Laboratory, Toshiba Corporation, Tochigi, Japan. En gineers involved in the development of the technique have provided important technical information, which the reader will find an invaluable background to potential applications ofTDE.

Developed for medical students, residents, cardiologists, and sonographers, Echocardiography Pocket Guide: The Transthoracic Examination presents a comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and practical guide to the performance and interpretation of the transthoracic examination. Key features include: Practical step-by-step approach to the transthoracic examination Accurate depictions of echocardiographic anatomy Basic principles of ultrasonography Illustrated charts summarizing normal and abnormal cardiac structure and function Foreword by Scott D. Solomon, MD Director, Noninvasive Cardiology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital Echocardiography is a manual skill. Unlike other imaging techniques, where a patient is positioned and a technician may press a series of buttons, echocardiography requires that a skilled operator apply a transducer manually to a patient’s thorax. Moreover, as echocardiography is not a tomographic technique, the images obtained are neither uniform nor guaranteed to be of a certain quality or even spatial location. Hence, the quality of the images obtained is directly dependent on that operator’s skill and experience; the success of the examination begins and ends at the hands of the person holding the transducer. Echocardiography Pocket Guide: The Transthoracic Examination by Bernard Bulwer and José Rivero, provides an introduction to cardiac imaging with echocardiography for anyone interested in learning this skill. It will appeal to sonographers in training and beyond. It will appeal to cardiology fellows, emergency physicians, and any physician or health professional interested in learning echocardiography from a hands-on perspective. In addition to providing an expert introduction to the process of performing an echocardiographic examination, this book is expertly illustrated and will guide users through the first steps of interpreting echocardiographic images. A good sonographer needs to know what to look for, and how to look for it. While a solid understanding of the kinds of pathology that are typically seen are essential in an echocardiographers training, the most important thing an echocardiographer can learn is to recognize normal, as only then can he or she appreciate and understand deviations from normality. As echocardiography transitions from a technology dominated by subspecialists to one that likely will be embraced by a growing number of practitioners, there will be a growing need for very practical instruction in this art, which has generally been taught by apprenticeship. This shift will likely be driven by the advent of smaller, more efficient and cheaper hand-held and portable echocardiographic devices that are beginning to transform cardiac imaging. This handbook has a central role in this transition, and will provide a wide range of clinicians with a foundation for the practice o
