DESCRIPTION:
- Part of the Oxford Clinical Imaging Guides Series
- Fully up-to-date reflecting developments in medical treatments and advances in ultrasound technology, including the implementation of 3D imaging into daily practice
- Online access to over 670 videos with corresponding annotated images teach you how to recognize standard views and pathologies, and interpret what you see
- The reader-friendly layout aids learning: summary tables and over 280 figures convey key information quickly
- Specific chapters on valve repair and catheter-based interventions are presented to help you with these challenging topics
- Problem-solving and possible dangers are emphasised throughout
- Self-assessment questions help you retain what you""ve read and revise for exams
