Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke Book and DVD

The essentials in cerebrovascular disease management

Neurosonology is a key modality in diagnosis and management of cerebrovascular disease and especially of stroke. Now,
in this book, this non-invasive, real time imaging method is placed firmly in the clinical context.

This book offers both an outstanding overview of the principles of neurosonology and a casebook posing interesting
angiologic questions. Ultrasound anatomy, technical aspects of clinical application and the advantages and limitations
of ultrasound are reviewed with reference to conventional angiography, MR and CT angiography. Thirty selected cases
from the authors’ extensive experience gained at the Department of Neurology at the Charit?University Hospital,
Berlin, Germany are then discussed. The patient history and initial hypothesis are followed by detailed assessment of
the extracranial and intracranial color-coded duplex sonography findings and additional diagnostic procedures. Videos
of the same cases on the DVD provide insight into the diagnostic method.

Features:

Complete extracranial and intracranial arterial and venous ultrasound examination

More than 750 high quality illustrations, including full-color Doppler images

30 selected clinical cases graded from easy to difficult in terms of neurosonologic complexity

DVD with almost 100 videoclips brings ultrasound anatomy and real cases right to your screen!

Neurosonology and Neuroimaging in Stroke offers neurologists, neuroradiologists and all physicians treating patients
with cerebrovascular disease an authoritative guide to this indispensable diagnostic tool.
