Index.

"This is a one-of-a-kind book dedicated to cerebrovascular
ultrasound as an extension of the neurovascular examination.
Neurosonology is a very exciting emerging field and this book is
well written with excellent illustrations, didactic, and easy and
fun to read. . . This is a great contribution to the field of
vascular neurology and it will expand and enhance the knowledge of
vascular neurosonology, hopefully making it more widely available
in clinical practice." (Doody's, 28 October 2011)
