Summary:
Ultrasound is used to demonstrate and classify numerous vascular diseases including

· cerebrovascular and transcranial

· lower and upper limb arterial

· deep vein thrombosis

· deep and superficial venous reflux

· renal, hepatoportal, mesenteric and penile.



Making Sense of Vascular Ultrasound is designed to give users a hands-on, practical approach to the diagnosis of vascular disease. This pocket-sized handbook provides easy to read, concise, point-form text and includes high-resolution ultrasound images and informative line diagrams.



Each regional chapter covers

· anatomy

· pathology

· clinical presentations

· differential diagnosis

· treatment

· what the doctor needs to know

· normal findings and criteria for disease as seen by ultrasound

· comprehensive protocols

· ultrasound images to collect for reports



The book also provides an overview of the physical principles of ultrasound, the physiology of blood flow, vascular pathology, setting up a vascular ultrasound diagnostic service, and interventional vascular ultrasound procedures.
