Book description
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
Features new 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. "The 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 Imaging_x000D_ _x000D_ "This 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
