Problem Solving in Cardiovascular Imaging Reviews

The attractiveness of this concept is that it approaches the concerns that many medical practitioners have as they move through their everyday practice and it makes it easy for practitioners to utilise the book as questions occur as their work evolves...The great stength of this book is that it contains a wide breath of material in an extremely accessible, problem-orientated manner that can be rapidly accessed...It allows the reader to rapidly become an expert in a small area that he or she may be concerned about and the style of the chapters effectively accentuates the key points in each area...Overall, therefore, an excellent comprehensive text presented in a way that allows the reader easy access to important bits of information without getting bogged down or imtimidated by the size of the whole textbook itself. This will make an excellent addition to any imaging library and would be a first-rate companion next to the reporting workstation. RAD, June 2013 This is an excellent review of the use of various imaging modalities in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of cardiovascular diseases, and a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each of them for the various clinical conditions. The quality of the images is excellent. Bennett Greenspan, MD, MS (Medical College of Georgia) 5 star Doody Rating!
