Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke

Neurosonology is a first-line modality in the diagnosis and management of cerebrovascular disease and especially of
stroke. In this new edition of Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke, this noninvasive, realtime imaging method has
been given expanded coverage, particularly for its clinical utility.

As in the first edition, the new edition offers both a clear overview of the principles of neurosonology and a casebook
exploring critical cerebrovascular problems. Ultrasound anatomy, technical aspects of clinical application, and the
advantages and limitations of ultrasound are reviewed and contrasted to conventional, magnetic resonance, and computed
tomography angiography. Forty-five selected cases from the authors' extensive collections at Charite -
Universitatsmedizin Berlin and the Center of Neurology in Bad Segeberg, Germany, are then discussed. The patient
histories and working diagnoses are followed by detailed assessments of the extra- and intracranial color-coded duplex
sonographic findings and additional diagnostic procedures. The relevant clinical aspects are presented in a compact,
comprehensible way, and for the majority of the cases videos are available in the Thieme MediaCenter, providing further
in-depth understanding of the full potential of the method.

Complete extra- and intracranial arterial and venous ultrasound examination
New techniques: ultrasound fusion imaging, ultrafast ultrasound, contrast application
More than 1,300 high-quality illustrations, including full-color duplex images
Fifteen newly selected cases on conditions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage and dural fistula, as well as rare stroke
causes including sickle cell disease and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome
Revision of many cases from the first edition
More than 60 new video clips (for a total of 130) available at the Thieme MediaCenter, bringing ultrasound anatomy and
challenging cases to your monitor!
Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke, Second Edition, offers neurologists, neuroradiologists, and all physicians
treating patients with cerebrovascular disease an authoritative introduction and guide to this powerful diagnostic tool.
