Now in its impressive fourth edition, “Vascular Ultrasound” presents a comprehensive yet succinct guide, invaluable for anyone immersed in the realm of vascular sonography. Expert practitioners have crafted this book as a readily accessible reference, tailored to the everyday needs of sonographers. It delves into the specifics of vascular investigations undertaken by ultrasound departments and vascular laboratories, providing a level of detail that surpasses general ultrasound textbooks, but avoids inundating sonographers with excessively complex information.
The essential knowledge encapsulated within this book includes the fundamentals of ultrasound physics for accurate evaluation of peripheral circulation and blood flow, effective utilization of primary scanner functions and controls, widespread disorders of the arterial and venous circulation systems, along with their appropriate treatment and management. It also elucidates techniques for disease diagnosis and grading.
This practical, focused guide is replete with lucid explanations, serving as a step-by-step manual to scanning and securing optimal images. It features a wealth of diagrams and figures to illustrate key information, supported by tangible examples. The appended quick reference tables and appendices amplify its utility, making it a small and compact companion, perfect for on-the-go studies, teaching sessions, and clinics.
The accompanying DVD is packed with cine loops of ultrasound scans showcasing both normal and diseased vessels, as well as ideal scans to highlight potential pitfalls and common errors.
The fourth edition is enhanced with four additional chapters and two new contributors, both of whom are clinical lecturers in vascular ultrasound. A new chapter is dedicated to treatment techniques, which will be of particular interest to vascular surgeons who are increasingly required to acquire basic scanning skills.
The sections on ultrasound instrumentation have been updated to encompass new advancements in equipment such as broadband colour imaging. All the vascular ultrasound applications covered have been reviewed and updated to reflect current practices.
