Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography 6/e

Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography,6/e


Now in its 6th edition, Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography, by Drs. John Pellerito and Joseph Polak, provides an
easily accessible, concise overview of arterial and venous ultrasound. A new co-editor and new contributors have
updated this classic with cutting-edge diagnostic procedures as well as new chapters on evaluating organ transplants,
screening for vascular disease, correlative imaging, and more. High-quality images, videos, and online access make this
an ideal introduction to this complex and rapidly evolving technique.
