Cardiovascular imaging encompasses cardiac imaging and vascular imaging. Cardiac imaging focuses on the non-invasive imaging of the heart through techniques such as MRI, CT scan and ultrasound. Vascular imaging refers to a set of diagnostic procedures used to evaluate the condition of the blood vessels. There are several techniques that are used to generate the images of the blood vessels. Carotid duplex ultrasound is a type of vascular imaging tool that evaluates the neck's carotid arteries which supply blood to the brain. It helps to evaluate the blood flow in the arteries. This book traces some of the recent advancements in cardiovascular imaging methods that are used to diagnose different diseases. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this medical field, it covers techniques and clinical interpretations of cardiovascular imaging.
