Color Blood Flow Imaging of the Heart

The book explores the evolution and significance of color blood flow imaging (CBFI) in cardiology, highlighting its advantages over traditional echocardiography methods. It discusses the slow integration of Doppler ultrasound into clinical practice, despite its potential for directly visualizing blood flow in cross-sectional views. The author notes the growing interest among clinicians, fueled by CBFI's reproducibility and clarity compared to older techniques. The text acknowledges the ongoing developments and lack of standardization in the field, justifying a comprehensive examination of this innovative method.
