Description
This volume is a comprehensive how-to guide to ultrasound evaluation of vascular pathology. The book provides both the technical know-how and the analytical skills needed to obtain the maximum information from examinations and to accurately diagnose a given problem.
Chapters provide detailed coverage of abdominal vasculature, peripheral arteries, hemodialysis and bypass grafts, peripheral veins, penile vessels, and the cerebrovascular system. Each chapter includes sections on anatomy, pathology, questions to ask the patient, examination techniques, diagnostic analysis, and other diagnostic tests related to the clinical problem. More than 100 full-color Doppler images demonstrate the full spectrum of pathologic findings.
Features
--Contains 104 review questions.
--131 high-quality ultrasound images demonstrate exactly what pathology looks like on an ultrasound, as well as excellent examples of normal anatomy
--Provides detailed instructions on how to create a better image and how to avoid pitfalls.
