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,_makes_this_a_very_easy_reference_book_to_use._

Product_Description
This_book_explores_the_basic_scientific_principles,_theory,_and_techniques_associated_with_peripheral_vascular_ultrasound_and_blood_flow._It_clearly_explains_how_to_interpret_color_images_and_Doppler_spectra,_as_well_as_how_to_optimize_scanner_controls_for_the_most_effective_results._Chapters_include_descriptions_of_vascular_disorders,_carotid_duplex_ultrasound,_lower_and_upper_limb_arterial_and_venous_assessment,_ultrasound_assessment_of_aneurysms,_graft_surveillance_and_pre-operative_vein_marking,_and_more._Clinical_chapters_also_contain_current_criteria_for_grading_disease._The_latest_technological_advances,_such_as_harmonic_imaging_and_compound_imaging,_are_integrated_with_an_emphasis_on_safety.


Practical,_step-by-step_guidance_on_scanning_shows_how_to_perform_specific_procedures.
Discussions_of_ultrasound_physics_are_directly_tied_to_applications_for_scanning_and_assessing_blood_flow.
High-quality_line_drawings_and_images_show_how_to_perform_the_scan_and_what_practitioners_can_expect_to_see.
Basic_scientific_principles_of_ultrasound_instrumentation_and_blood_flow_are_discussed.
Limitations_and_pitfalls_of_techniques_are_presented.



Thoroughly_up-to-date_information_has_been_incorporated_throughout.
New_images_bring_important_concepts_to_life.
Relevant_content_on_providing_a_vascular_ultrasound_service_has_been_integrated_into_the_chapter_on_Reoptimising_the_Scan_(chapter_7),_with_practical_advice_on_approaching_the_scan_and_the_patient.
A_new_section_is_devoted_to_endovascular_aortic_grafts_and_arterial_stents.
Most_scan_images_have_been_revised_to_reflect_contemporary_practice.
Assessment_of_thoracic_outlet_syndrome_is_discussed_in_more_detail.
Material_on_scanning_for_venous_insufficiency_has_been_comprehensively_revised.


Preface

Vascular_ultrasound_is_a_speciality_in_its_own_right
and_vascular_surgeons_are_becoming_increasingly
dependent_on_the_skills_of_vascular_sonographers_for
the_investigation_of_patients_suffering_from_peripheral
vascular_disease._This_book_aims_to_provide_an
understanding_of_the_principles_and_practice_of_vascular
ultrasound.
An_introduction_to_some_of_the_basic_theory
behind_the_science_and_technology_of_ultrasound_is
included._This_will_help_sonographers_to_understand
the_function_of_scanner_controls_and_enable_them
to_obtain_optimal_images_and_Doppler_recordings.
B-mode_imaging,_color_flow_and_spectral_Doppler
images_are_all_prone_to_artefacts,_and_it_is_essential
that_their_presence_be_recognized._The_potential
sources_of_errors_in_any_measurements_made_by
ultrasound_should_be_understood._Specific_disorders
of_the_arterial_and_venous_systems_are_covered,_and
the_techniques_for_diagnosing_these_problems_are
described._Examples_of_normal_and_abnormal
images_and_Doppler_recordings_are_included_and
the_interpretation_of_these_discussed._British_readers
please_note_that_the_publishers_have_used_American
spelling_in_this_edition.
We_hope_this_book_will_serve_as_a_useful_reference
to_sonographers_new_to_this_field.
