Basic Concepts in Doppler Echocardiography The objective of this
textbook is to offer a detailed yet concise overview of the various
applications of Doppler echocardiography. The fundamental principles of
pulsed mode, continuous mode, and color flow mapping are fully explained
as well as the clinical applications of each modality in the evaluation
of various cardiac pathologies. A copious amount of figures and
illustrations is included so that the reader is able to follow the
discussions in the text by referring to the appropriate case studies.
The emphasis of this book is focused upon the practical Doppler
examination. The sections on theoretical considerations are therefore
brief but comprehensive, while the didactic sections concentrate upon
how to perform and interpret the clinical examination. The
instrumentation of the Doppler system is also discussed so that the
physician or technologist can acquire a basic understanding of how the
Doppler system actually functions. CONTRmUTORS Bjorn AJ. Angelsen Dr.
