The text is illustrated to aid understanding. It includes colour scans, and useful pairings of anatomic drawings with scans to orient the novice. Also useful for reference are the tables of normal values. Unique to this book is the incorporation of TEE within discussion of each clinical entity, rather than as merely a separate chapter on technique.;It is thus: A useful "hands-on" guide in the lab or clinic which features reference tables of normal values and draws on extensive case material to give a wide-ranging overview of many conditions.
