Echocardiology comprises all aspects of diagnostic application of
ultrasound to cardiac patients. It is probably the fastest growing
non-invasive technique today. Almost all progress in this young and
exciting field has been the positive result of close co-operation
between medical and technical scientists. This book contains a
series of lectures held at Erasmus University Rotterdam in June
1977 and is divided in three sections: - clinical echocardiology,
consisting of both an introduction to the basic principles as well
as a wide variety of applications aimed at the clinically oriented
reader. - Doppler methods, where in addition to its clinical
applications also the engineering of new developments will be
presented. - the two dimensional real-time imaging where many new
techniques including com puter methods, holography and
acousto-optical systems will be discussed. We hope that this book
will stimulate communication between scientists of various
disciplines and nationalities. N.Bom J. Roelandt P.G. Hugenholtz
Rotterdam, June 1977 III Preface The last three decades have seen a
remarkable advance in diagnostic instrument ation in diseases of
the circulation. In the 1940's the only diagnostic aids were the
electrocardiogram and simple X-ray. These were quickly followed by
the cardiac ca theter, phonocardiography, radio isotope methods and
angiocardiography. The de velopment of cardiac surgery provided the
impetus to developing more accurate methods of diagnosis,
preferably those that did not need invasion of the patient. The
introduction of ultrasound has contributed towards this aim in the
last few years.
