Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography

The 5th Edition of the classic textbook on vascular ultrasound. Now in a full-color format, with a new co-editor, a new team of contributors, and cutting-edge diagnostic procedures. Five sections span show the spectrum of arterial and venous ultrasound, from basic concepts and instrumentation, through cerebral vessels, extremity arteries, and extremity veins, to abdominal vessels, and the pelvis. This edition also features brand-new coverage of cerebrovascular arteries, peripheral arteries, intravascular techniques, and more.

With 28 additional contributors.

Reviews
"This textbook constitues an excellent investment for those wanting to acquire or to increase their knowledge of vascular ultrasonography." (Journal of Clinical Imaging 29 (2005) 370-372)

Key Features

Organizes each section by clinical rationale, anatomy, examination technique, findings, and interpretation for easy reference.

Details all aspects of ultrasound vascular diagnosis, including peripheral veins and arteries, carotid and vertebral arteries,
abdominal vessels, and transcranial Doppler.

Offers chapters on physiological diagnostic techniques, such as plethysmography, segmental pressure examination,
ankle brachial index, and more.

Includes numerous tables that conveniently display examination protocols, normal values, diagnostic parameters, and
ultrasound findings for selected conditions.
Illustrates important techniques with hundreds of lavish line drawings and clinical ultrasound examples.

New to this Edition
