Ultrasonography in Vascular Diagnosis 2/e: A Therapy-Oriented Textbook and Atlas

Ultrasonography in Vascular Diagnosis,2/e: A Therapy-Oriented Textbook & Atlas




This is the second edition of a well-received book that has been recommended for inclusion in any vascular library or
vascular radiology suite. The first edition has been fully revised so as to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date account
of vascular ultrasound that reflects recent exciting advances in this diagnostic modality.
The emphasis remains on the clinical aspects most relevant to angiologists and vascular surgeons. The main chapters are
subdivided into a text section and an atlas section. The text part of each chapter documents the ultrasound anatomy of
the vascular territory in question, explains the examination procedure, describes normal and pathological findings,
specifies the indications for diagnostic ultrasound, and assesses the clinical impact of the ultrasound findings. The
atlas part of each chapter presents a compilation of pertinent case material to illustrate the typical ultrasound
findings for both the more common vascular diseases and rarer conditions that are nevertheless significant for the
vascular surgeon and angiologist. Throughout, the ultrasound material is compared with the angiographic and
intraoperative findings.
Beginners will find this a useful textbook that guides them from a sensible and efficient examination procedure to
reliable interpretation of ultrasound findings on the basis of a thorough discussion of all relevant vascular diseases.
Experienced sonographers will benefit from the comprehensive presentation of rare vascular diseases, the detailed
evaluation of the role of ultrasound as compared with other modalities, and the discussion of the ultrasound findings
in their clinical context.
