Textbook of Three-Dimensional Echocardiography
暫譯: 三維超音波心臟學教科書

這本經過徹底修訂的教科書提供了一個實用的三維超音波心臟攝影（3DE）指南。書中介紹了支持經胸和經食道三維超音波心臟攝影技術實施的技術和物理學的演變背景。還描述了3DE在評估心臟腔室方面的增值作用。此外，書中深入描繪和說明了一系列心臟瓣膜疾病，包括二尖瓣、主動脈瓣和三尖瓣，這些疾病包括先天性異常、返流和狹窄。書中還強調了該技術的技術性方面以及它能提供附加價值的地方，包括手術後評估和心臟腫塊的評估。

《三維超音波心臟攝影教科書》使讀者能夠深入了解如何使用這種影像技術。它為希望增進知識的超音波心臟攝影實習生和尋求全面最新參考的經驗豐富的從業者提供了寶貴的資源。

Prof Badano is a regular lecturer at ESC, ACC, ASE and EuroEcho scientific meetings. He has published more than 260 peer-reviewed full papers, authored 7 books about echocardiography and cardiovascular imaging. He is honorary member of the British Society of Echocardiography, Romanian, Hungarian and Korean societies of cardiology. From 2010 to 2012, he served as President of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging. In 2013, he was awarded with the silver medal of the European Society of Cardiology for his clinical and research activity and his services as President of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging.
Roberto M. Lang is currently the Director of the Noninvasive Cardiac Imaging Laboratories at the University of Chicago and Associate Director of the Cardiology Fellowship training program. He is a Professor of Medicine and Radiology at the University of Chicago Medical Center. He has published more than 570 manuscripts on cardiac imaging and physiology during his career as well as 10 books and 110 book chapters. Dr Lang has been a pioneer in the development of three dimensional transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, a non-invasive technique that is currently used world-wide to diagnose heart disease. He serves as a manuscript review consultant for most cardiology peer-reviewed journals and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Echocardiography, Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging and Journal of Echocardiography, the official journal of the Japanese Society of Echocardiography. Lang's major research interests are the clinical utility of noninvasive techniques in assessing left ventricular contractile state/myocardial perfusion and Three-Dimensional echocardiography. He was the president of the American Society of Echocardiography and has recently given the Edler Lecture in the last Scientific Sessions of the American Society of Echocardiography and the Honorary Euro-Lecture of the European Society of Cardiovascular imaging.
Denisa Muraru is a cardiologist, currently working as a researcher at the University of Padua (Italy). She graduated from the "Carol Davila" University of Medicine in Bucharest (Romania). In 2011, she moved to the University of Padua in order to perform clinical research in the field of 3D echocardiography and received the PhD degree in 2013. She has a h-index of 23 (Scopus 2018). Her main research interests are: ventricular function and mechanics; valvular heart disease; clinical implementation of 3D echocardiography (software validation, reference values, outcome). She has been co-Director of several teaching courses and scientific meetings on 3D echocardiography organized by the University of Padua since 2012. She chaired the Education Committee of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) between 2016-2018.
