About this title

Synopsis

The book aims to describe the basic scientific principles of ultrasound and blood flow. The content covers interpretation of color images and Doppler spectra; optimisation of scanner controls; description of vascular disorders; carotid duplex ultrasound; lower and upper limb arterial and venous assessment; ultrasound assessment of aneurysms; graft surveilance and pre-operative vein marking; providing a vascular ultrasound service; well-illustrated including image montages; step by step guide of scanning techniques.

The new edition will contain updates on new technology, including harmonic imaging, compound imaging and safety. The clinical chapters will be updated and include current criteria for grading disease. The surveillance of endovascular aneurysm repairs will be added. Many of the images will be updated.

• 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.

New images

The original chapter 15 'providing a vascular ultrasound service' has been removed and some of its contents placed in chapter 7 'optimising the scan' Chapter 7 also offers very practical advice about approaching the scan and the patient
