Cardiac ultrasound has rapidly developed into one of the most
important clinical methods for diagnosis and follow-up of patients
with heart disease and has changed the practice of cardiology
permanently. In addition to improving image quality, most of the
progress relies on digital image acquisition, storage, and
quantitative analysis equipment. Automatic endocardial detection
and three- dimensional reconstruction are now being developed. The
progress with contrast echocardiography for myocardial perfusion
imaging and results with tissue characterization is slow, but ever
increasing, illustrating that the full potential of the method has
not yet been explored. All of these digital techniques are
extensively dealt with in this volume. Computerized tools will help
the clinical cardiologists in their daily practice and stimulate
further development to gen- uinely improve patient care in the
coming years. We wish to thank the authors to this volume for their
excellent contribution and Mrs. T. van der Kolk for secretarial
assistance. IX Contributors F. J. ten Cate Thorax Center, Erasmus
