Echocardiography is widely used  to assess cardiac function, and provides noninvasive information which  is invaluable for the diagnosis of various disease states. In spite of  its numerous advantages, in the clinical arena echocardiography has  remained mostly qualitative and subjective. However, continued  progress in our understanding of the interactions between ultrasound  and tissue characteristics have brought about several new developments  which allow quantitative analysis of ultrasound data. Among these new  developments are endocardial boundary detection (frequently referred  to as Acoustic Quantification), Color Kinesis and Doppler myocardial  imaging. \u003cbr\u003e  The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with the background  necessary to understand and successfully utilize these methodologies.  Chapters summarize in detail the studies that have validated these  techniques thus far, and discuss their future applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461378167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-6145-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 276\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359065469068,"sku":"9781461378167","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461378167.jpg?v=1771513683","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461378167","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
