Description
Book SynopsisFeatures more than 500 line drawings and images
The critically acclaimed Vascular Diagnosis of Ultrasound returns in a new two-volume second edition, offering the most comprehensive information available on the broad spectrum of vascular ultrasound applications. Volume 1: Cerebral and Peripheral Vessels retains the accessible design and structure of the first edition to discuss the available ultrasound technologies, including continuous and pulsed-wave Doppler mode, b-mode, and conventional and color-coded duplex analysis in frequency and amplitude power modes. This text covers anatomy, physiology, normal and abnormal findings, test accuracy and sensitivity, providing the reader with the information essential to managing common clinical situations.
Highlights:
- Provides comprehensive coverage of vascular ultrasonography in the arteries and veins of the cerebral circulation and the peripheral upper and lower limb circulation
- Compares other diagnostic methods used in each region, such as conventional and noninvasive MR angiography
- Assesses recent developments in ultrasound technology, including tissue perfusion studies, 3D and 4D imaging, contrast enhancement and microbubble applications, and their diagnostic, technological, and therapeutic implications
- Challenging case studies for both the novice and the expert to review
- With contributions from experts in the field and more than 500 line drawings and images, this text is an indispensable reference for radiologists, vascular surgeons, and residents and students in these specialties.
Trade ReviewThe chapters dedicated to the exploration of intracranial vessels, arteries, and veins are all of high quality and are a pleasure to read. Reading the second chapter is entrancing. The seventh chapter..is of exceptional quality, both for iconography and for the richness of the information provided. This volume, with its text illustrated by a rich and informative iconography and by an ample bibliography, is to be used, in particular, by experienced sonographers. Its place is in the library of anyone specialized in vascular imaging.--Clinical ImagingThis is a practical introductory manual to the study of arteries and veins in the cerebral and peripheral circulation and boasts more than 500 illustrations including drawings and ultrasound images. This is a well-written reference book, ideal for teaching purposes and an excellent guide for those about to embark on the study of the anatomy and pathology of the vascular system.--Rivista di Neuroradiologia
