Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography E-Book

by FACR Pellerito MD, MPH Polak MD

Overview

Focused content, an easy-to-read writing style, and abundant illustrations make Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography the definitive reference on arterial and venous ultrasound. Trusted by radiologists, interventional radiologists, vascular and interventional fellows, residents, and sonographers through six outstanding editions, the revised 7th Edition covers all aspects of ultrasound vascular diagnosis, including peripheral veins and arteries, carotid and vertebral arteries, abdominal vessels, and transcranial Doppler. Step-by-step explanations, all highly illustrated, walk you through the full spectrum of ultrasound sonography practice, including all that's new in this quickly evolving field. - Organizes sections with quick reference in mind: clinical rationale, anatomy, examination technique, findings, and interpretation. - Includes 2,100 clinical ultrasound images and anatomic line drawings, including over 1,000 in full color. - Features new coverage of noninvasive image-guided procedures, robotic embolization, laser therapy, new Doppler ultrasound and color images, and guidance on promoting patient relationships. - Takes a clear, readable, and practical approach to interventions and underlying rationales for a variety of complex IR principles, such as the physics of Doppler ultrasound and hemodynamics of blood flow. - Contains extensive tables, charts, and graphs that clearly explain examination protocols, normal values, diagnostic parameters, and ultrasound findings.

Editorial Reviews

This book represents a well-organized and current approach to vascular sonography. This long awaited fourth edition includes updated techniques and numerous improved images since the third edition was published in 1992 The author's goal of providing an up-to-date approach to vascular sonography while emphasizing its evolving clinical role is well met by the contributors. The book has a wide target audience, including practicing radiologists, vascular surgeons, residents, and sonographers. Basic technical aspects of sonography as it applies to vascular imaging are introduced, including recent technical advances in the field. The book is subdivided into the major areas of vascular imaging, including cerebrovascular imaging, arterial and venous extremity imaging, and evaluation of abdominal and penile vasculature. The book is well written and well organized. Numerous high quality images and illustrations, including images that depict useful scanning techniques, are presented. A few notable shortcomings include limited or no discussion of imaging of female pelvic vasculature, liver transplant vasculature, tumor vascularity, and three-dimensional ultrasound. Despite these shortcomings, the goal of accurately presenting the major areas where sonography has contributed to the management of vascular disease is well met. This book is an outstanding introduction to vascular sonography and this edition is a welcome update to prior editions. I highly recommend it to practicing radiologists, vascular surgeons, residents, and sonographers with an interest in vascular imaging.
