The only resource for understanding the technologic and medical considerations of cardiac echocardiography as well as a self-assessment manual. This essential guide is the first to provide authoritative instruction in this fast-growing medical imaging technique. Useful as a review tool for certification, re-certification, or self-assessment, this book features a 4-color format, self- assessment questions, as well as bulleted text, tables, and charts.
