Handbook on Neurovascular Ultrasound

Presenting the latest knowledge in diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound





Neurovascular ultrasound increases the reliability of assessing occlusive cerebrovascular disease,
including the detection of instable carotid plaques, the delineation of cerebral perfusion and
therapeutic options such as ultrasound-enhanced sonothrombolysis.
Written by international experts, this publication provides the reader with the present knowledge
and future research directions of diagnostic and therapeutic neurovascular ultrasound. The first
chapters deal with physical and technical principles of ultrasound, arterial wall imaging,
endothelial function testing and modern assessment of atherosclerotic obstruction of the carotid
and vertebro-basilar systems. Subsequently, typical ultrasound findings in cervical artery
dissection, dural fistula, glomus tumor and vasculitis are reported. The book concludes with the
description of diagnostic and therapeutic transcranial ultrasound and clinical applications of
transcranial Doppler monitoring as well as the presentation of future developments.

Neurologists, angiologists and radiologists will find a valuable source of up-to-date information
on this fascinating, essentially non-invasive technique, which allows real-time assessment of the
human cerebral vessels.
