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.

This is the second edition of a well-received book that has been recommended for inclusion in any vascular library or vascular radiology suite. The first edition has been fully revised so as to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date account of vascular ultrasound that reflects recent advances. The emphasis remains on the clinical aspects most relevant to angiologists and vascular surgeons. Ultrasound anatomy is discussed, examination procedures explained, normal and pathological findings described, and the clinical impact of ultrasound assessed. Atlas sections present pertinent case material to illustrate typical ultrasound findings for both the more common vascular diseases and rarer conditions. This book will serve not only as an invaluable guide for beginners, but also as an indispensable reference for experienced sonographers, who will benefit from the detailed evaluation of the role of ultrasound as compared with other modalities and the discussion of ultrasound findings in their clinical context.

Comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of vascular ultrasound. The emphasis is on the clinical aspects that are relevant from the angiologist's and vascular surgeons's point of view. The main chapters are subdivided into a text and an atlas section. The ultrasound material is compared with angiographic and intraoperative findings. Comprehensive presentation of rare vascular diseases. Detailed evaluation of the role of ultrasound as compared with other modalities. Discussion of the ultrasound findings in their clinical context. Useful for beginners as well as for experienced sonographers.

"Keeping pace with the technical advancements and broadening capabilities of vascular ultrasound can be a challenge. This comprehensive, how-to guide delivers both the technical know-how and the analytical skills you need to obtain clinically relevant results and sharpen your interpretive skills. Inside you'll discover detailed coverage of abdominal vasculature, peripheral arteries, hemodialysis and bypass grafts, peripheral veins, penile vessels, and the cerebrovascular system -- all presented in a structured chapter format that makes sure you never miss step!"--Jaquette du livre.

Ultrasound is used to demonstrate and classify numerous vascular diseases and provides a firm basis for deciding the most appropriate interventional treatment. Practical Vascular Ultrasound: An Illustrated Guide delivers a hands-on, practical approach to the diagnosis of vascular disease. Providing an overview of performing vascular ultrasounds, th

This book provides an understanding of the underlying scientific principles in the production of B-mode and Colour Flow imaging and Spectral Doppler sonograms. A basic description of common vascular diseases is given along with a practical guide as to how ultrasound is used to detect and quantify the disease. Possible treatments of common vascular diseases and disorders are outlined. Ultrasound is often used in post-treatment assessment and this is also discussed. The role of ultrasound in the formation and follow-up of haemodialysis access is a growing field and is covered in detail.Practical step-by-step guide to peripheral vascular ultrasoundExplains the basic scientific principles of ultrasound instrumention and blood flowFully illustrated with 175 black and white scans, 150 colour scans and 220 black and white and colour line drawingsContributions from leading names in peripheral vascular ultrasoundAccompanying DVD. - Accompanying DVD includes cine loops of ultrasound scans in normal and diseased vessels and of optimum scans to show potential pitfalls and common mistakes. - Four new chapters and two new contributors, both clinical lecturers in vascular ultrasound. - New chapter on treatment techniques of particular interest to vascular surgeons who increasingly are required to learn basic scanning skills. - Sections on ultrasound instrumentation updated to cover new developments in equipment such as broadband colour imaging. - Current practices in all the vascular ultrasound applications covered are reviewed and updated.
