Handbook Of Intravascular Ultrasound : 1/E 2015

Handbook of Intravascular Ultrasound, edited by Aaron Jackson (Foster Academics, 2015), is a comprehensive guide to intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), the catheter-based imaging technique that uses a miniaturised ultrasound probe to visualise vascular anatomy and the layers of the arterial wall in detail. Over the past two decades IVUS has become an essential tool in cardiovascular research and practice, offering diagnostic insight into atherosclerosis in vivo and the effects of interventions on plaque and vessel wall. The book covers the basics and instrumentation through to research and clinical applications, with a look at future directions. A valuable reference for interventional cardiologists, DM Cardiology trainees, cath lab staff and cardiovascular researchers.
