Cardiovascular Imaging — Advanced Diagnostic Atlas

Imaging · Clinical Bases

How it begins

Cardiovascular imaging integrates modalities of very diverse physical nature and resolution, each providing complementary anatomical, functional, perfusion or metabolic information. Selection of the optimal technique depends on the clinical question, patient condition, availability and experience of the center. The expert cardiovascular radiologist must master all modalities and understand their…
