Noninvasive Vascular Diagnosis

The book provides the newest definitive text on the current techniques used in assessing vascular disorders. Noninvasive diagnostic techniques are increasing in popularity as access increases, so the demand for such literature reviews of the techniques and appearances are increasingly important. There are very few up-to-date books on this topic that are written for surgeons for diagnosis. Readers will receive authoritative information and will be guided through the establishment and accreditation of a vascular laboratory and introduced to the physics of diagnostic testing. The chapters explain the use of ultrasound in diagnosing cerebrovascular, renovascular, visceral ischemia and peripheral arterial disease, as well as venous disorders and deep abdominal vascular conditions. The book contains over 300 illustrations, many of them in color. The book will be invaluable to physicians who treat vascular disorders, surgeons, cardiologists, vascular radiologists and the vascular laboratory staff.
