Abstract

The critical care provider when faced with complicated clinical problems often asks the imager, “Which test is best?" to which the imager should reply, “For what question?" With the multiple imaging modalities of echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and cardiac catheterization, it can be confusing for the provider and can result in unnecessary or ineffective imaging. This chapter is organized to help the provider to understand better how to use imaging and to do so in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
