Synopsis

This comprehensive textbook on current neurovascular examination includes continuous wave Doppler sonography, duplex sonography with B-mode imaging, pulsed Doppler and colour-coded Doppler flow imaging, as well as Doppler sonography of the intracranial arteries. The book reflects the authors' 17-year experience in this field. It includes chapters on basic technology, anatomy and haemodynamics, and introduces the various examination techniques. The criteria for the different lesions are extensively discussed together with the most common pitfalls. The key features of the book are: physical and technical principles; anatomic principles; haemodynamic principles; doppler sonography of the cervical vessels-examination technique and differentiation; diagnostic parameters of doppler spectral analysis; duplex scanning of the cervical vessels; periorbital doppler examination; doppler examination of the basal cerebral arteries (transcranial or intracranial doppler sonography); stenoses and occlusions of the extracranial carotid system; stenoses and occlusions of the subclavian artery; stenoses and occlusions of the brachiocephalic trunk; stenoses and occlusions of the vertebral arteries; intracranial doppler sonography in the investigations of cerebrovascular stenoses and occlusions; fistulas and angiomas; serial examinations and monitoring; sample documentation sheets.
