An Atlas and Manual of Coronary Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging (Coronary Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging)

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is an imaging technique used during coronary angiography. This book provides a systematic introduction to coronary imaging with (IVUS). It is divided into two integrated and extensively cross-referenced parts, the Atlas and the Manual. The Manual describes the rationale, method, and interpretation of IVUS imaging for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. It also presents a range of both established and evolving clinical and research applications. The Atlas features non-illustrated IVUS images together with corresponding illustrated figures. The reference list and subject index are connected to the Atlas and the Manual, allowing for rapid and easy access to information.

The authors explain the use, technique, and interpretation of IVUS imaging in the initial 29-page manual. The atlas that fills the rest of the book features images with descriptive captions. All images include a cross reference to the pertinent section of the manual. Two case studies are included; on lesion progression and subsequent PCI and, secondly, on the PCI of lesion site and regression of an additional lesion.
