Peripheral Vascular Sonography

Now in its revised, updated Second Edition, this volume is a
thorough, practical guide to the use of Doppler sonography in
evaluating peripheral vascular disease. Dr. Polak describes
techniques for optimizing image acquisition and provides the
clinical and pathophysiologic information necessary for accurate
image interpretation. This edition features over 600 new
illustrations, including 197 full-color images throughout the
book.

Chapters cover neck arteries, venous thrombosis, chronic venous
thrombosis and venous insufficiency, peripheral arterial
disease, and imaging after operative and endovascular
interventions. Images are linked to descriptions of
pathophysiologic processes so that readers clearly understand
the clinical significance of sonographic findings.
