Synopsis

For novice scanners and for sonographers and echocardiographers cross-training in vascular ultrasound, here is the improved third edition of Don Ridgway's very popular, unabashedly practical, and famously unique guide to performing vascular studies now with Uncle Don's Bonus Image Section, new chapters on the Doppler principle, those darn Doppler angles, and other vascular diagnostic modalities, plus new illustrations, new scanning exercises, and expanded coverage of carotid scanning, abdominal Doppler, upper and lower extremity scanning, and color flow imaging. As if that weren't enough, the latest edition is approved for 12 hours of SDMS-approved CME credit.

About this title

About the Author

Don Ridgway is a practicing vascular technologist and an instructor in the vascular technology program at Grossmont College in California, where he was responsible for seeing that program become the first vascular technology curriculum to receive American Medical Association accreditation. Don brings teaching skills from several different disciplines and areas of experience: He has taught writing and fencing (swords, not chain-link) at San Diego State University, and for ten years he played and taught bluegrass banjo, mandolin, guitar, and Dobro. He still gets to pick occasionally when he is not on call, lecturing, or grading quizzes.
