In recent years, echocardiography has evolved from a qualitative diagnostic tool into a complex and sophisticated technique that is able to provide accurate, quantitative information driving the management of most cardiac diseases. Despite the availability, affordability and scientific value of advanced echocardiography techniques such as Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) and Speckle Tracking, there has been a lack of accessible information about their use in real-life medical practice.

This practical book is the first comprehensive resource with truly international authorship covering the theory and clinical applications of advanced myocardial imaging as a diagnostic, monitoring and prognostic tool.

• Edited by internationally recognized experts in cardiac imaging, Myocardial Imaging: Tissue Doppler and Speckle Tracking collates the latest research into a specific, in-depth resource.
• The book focuses on how to use advanced cardiac imaging techniques in everyday clinical practice, presenting relevant material in a logical format.
• Each chapter covers a different clinical application of TDI and Speckle Tracking techniques and is illustrated with full color images and tables, allowing quick and easy reference to clinically appropriate information.
• It is accompanied by an invaluable CD of video clips that illustrate concepts in the text and provide real examples of echocardiography in practice.
• Clear, concise key facts and summaries throughout the book enable fast decisions at point of care.

This book is an invaluable resource for cardiologists, sonographers or other healthcare professionals who want to get the most out of the new technology available on echo machines..

Holography and Speckle is intended to mark a new era in holography and speckle A new generation of holographers and speckle users now appears ready to take these fields in new directions unanticipated even 5 years ago. The old familiar applications have now reached a level of maturity that makes them better suited for advanced development than for basic research. So what comes next? We have offered here a sampling of new directions with just enough tie-in to our past to put the new in perspective. This is not a book in which you will find reviews of past work by the usual suspects , whose contributions, however important, those in the field already know well. Here you will find chapters from many whose work has never appeared in such a book and who are looking at these fields with new perspectives. Holography and speckle are being reborn or at least rethought, and you are invited to join us in seeing some of those new directions for the first time.

The ever-increasing requirements of product quality and reliability demand more efficient measuring and testing methods. Developed in the past decade, shearography--also called speckle pattern shearing interferometry--is a coherent-optical measuring and testing method, similar to holographic interferometry. This book describes the development of second-generation digital shearography, which is especially effective in nondestructive testing, strain measurement, and vibration analysis due to its relative insensitivity to environmental disturbances..
