Inhaltsangabe

This work aims to provide an understanding of the principles and practice of vascular ultrasound. Some of the basic theory behind the science and instrumentation of ultrasound is considered to help in understanding the function of scanner controls, and enabling the reader to obtain optimal images and Doppler recordings. Specific disorders of the arterial and venous systems are covered and the techniques for diagnosing these problems described. Examples of normal and abnormal images and Doppler recordings are included and the interpretation of these discussed. To conclude, some aspects of providing a vascular ultrasound service are examined.

Reseña del editor

This timely book describes the theory and techniques of peripheral vascular ultrasound, the new technology forecasted to completely replace angiography in the diagnosis of arterial disease and venous assessment within 10 years. The first section covers the basic principles of physics, instrumentation and hemodynamics. The second section covers anatomy, physiology and pathology, and the practicalities of how to perform each investigation of the carotid arteries, the lower and upper limb arteries and veins, and the aorta. This practical, highly illustrated text is a must for all clinicians who must keep pace with advances in arterial imaging.
