Reviewer's Comments

“This is a very readable text covering the physics and clinical applications of peripheral vascular ultrasound. Excellent images and diagrams are used throughout to aid understanding and the overall presentation, by way of colour-coded chapter headings, making this a very easy reference book to use.”

CME Credits: 5 hours
ISBN: 0443069182
Format: Hardcover
Catalog No: 18004
Price: $85.95

This book provides an understanding of the underlying scientific principles in the production of B-mode and Colour Flow imaging and Spectral Doppler sonograms. A basic description of common vascular diseases is given along with a practical guide as to how ultrasound is used to detect and quantify the disease. Possible treatments of common vascular diseases and disorders are outlined. Ultrasound is often used in post-treatment assessment and this is also discussed. The role of ultrasound in the formation and follow-up of haemodialysis access is a growing field and is covered in detail.
