An introduction to coronary imaging with IVUS, this text is divided into two integrated and extensively cross-referenced parts. The Manual describes the rationale, method, and interpretation of IVUS imaging for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes and the Atlas features non-illustrated IVUS images together with corresponding illustrated figures.

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.
