Real time systems for two dimensional imaging. General introduction

  • Chapter
Echocardiology

Abstract

Diagnostic Ultrasound systems have become increasingly sophisticated and today instruments exist which combine more than just one diagnostic parameter that can be obtained with ultrasound. In figure 1, the four areas of diagnostic information, for which ultrasound is used today are indicated.
