Vascular Ultrasound (eBook)

<p><strong>An interdisciplinary guide to color duplex sonography organized by anatomic region </strong></p> <p>The indications for vascular color duplex sonography (CDS) have expanded in recent years due to the availability of power Doppler, B-flow, ultrasound contrast agents, 3D reconstruction techniques and fusion with other imaging modalities. CDS enables close-interval follow-ups after interventional procedures with improved prognoses. Edited by Reinhard Kubale, Hubert Stiegler, and Hans-Peter Weskott, <em>Vascular Color Duplex Ultrasound starts</em> with the basic principles of diagnostic ultrasound physics and technology, followed by invaluable tips on equipment settings, possible artifacts, and limitations; hemodynamic essentials; and the use of ultrasound contrast agents. Subsequent chapters organized by anatomic region provide updated coverage on all peripheral and abdominal arterial and venous vascular regions; microcirculation and tumor perfusion; kidney and liver disease; the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in biliary, intestinal, splenic, and pediatric diseases; and novel/future techniques.</p> <p><strong> Key Features </strong></p> <ul> <li>Contributions from interdisciplinary experts in angiology, neurology, radiology, vascular surgery, gastroenterology, nephrology, phlebology, rheumatology, laser medicine, and physics</li> <li>In-depth guidance on examination techniques, findings, and potential pitfalls and how to avoid them</li> <li>A wealth of comparative CT, MRI, and angiography CDS images and 37 videos enhance understanding of impacted anatomy, and the ability to master techniques and make accurate diagnoses</li> </ul> <p>This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com</p>
