It explains the shift from older methods to precise radiologic techniques that reveal the heart’s exact shape and contours in living patients.
Designed for radiologists and clinicians, this edition lays out practical methods, describes what to look for in normal and diseased hearts, and shows how imaging supports decisions about treatment. The text covers a range of topics from radiographic methods to congenital and acquired heart conditions, with clear guidance on interpreting shadows, volumes, and motion.
