Product Description:
Here's the 5th Edition of the classic textbook on vascular ultrasoundthoroughly updated to include a new, full-color format, a new co-editor, a new team of contributors, and cutting-edge diagnostic procedures. Five well-organized sections span nearly the entire spectrum of arterial and venous ultrasound, progressing from basic concepts and instrumentation, through cerebral vessels, extremity arteries, and extremity veins, to abdominal vessels, and the pelvis. This 5th Edition also features brand-new coverage of cerebrovascular arteries, peripheral arteries, intravascular techniques, and much more.

  • Organizes each section by clinical rationale, anatomy, examination technique, findings, and interpretation for easy reference.
  • Details all aspects of ultrasound vascular diagnosis, including peripheral veins and arteries, carotid and vertebral arteries,
    abdominal vessels, and transcranial Doppler.
  • Offers chapters on physiological diagnostic techniques, such as plethysmography, segmental pressure examination,
    ankle brachial index, and more.
  • Includes numerous tables that conveniently display examination protocols, normal values, diagnostic parameters, and
    ultrasound findings for selected conditions.
    • Illustrates important techniques with hundreds of lavish line drawings and clinical ultrasound examples.


  • Covers all currently used methods of noninvasive vascular diagnosis in a concise, easy-to-read manner.
  • Offers substantially revised chapters on the management of cerebrovascular and extremity venous disease, assessment
    of carotid stenosis, vertebral and intracranial arteries, and upper occlusive disease.
  • Incorporates many more color Doppler pictures and anatomic diagrams.
  • Provides brand-new chapters and discussions on ultrasound assessment.
  • Features new contributing authors who are widely recognized experts in their fields.


With 28 additional contributors.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best buy.
It's one of those books you must read. It's simple and fast to read. You find all the basic information about the most common topics on vascular sonography and how to solve the day by day challenges you'll find in your routine. Best buy for beginners.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simple and Efficient
Simple and efficient, with topics about almost everything in Doppler's world. A clear text and very well organized.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best of the basic
A textbook providing a simple and wide view of basic vascular ultrasonography


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Excellent Text and Reference
This new 5th edition is an improvement on an already excellent text on vascular sonography. Some tests are heavy on very detailed, hard-to-grasp, very long-winded theory that seem to be aimed at physicists. Still others are intentionally simplistic in an attempt to convey the basic issues, while unfortunately,
omitting so much you will need different text to fill in blanks.
Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography has the nearly perfect balance of detailed but understandable theory, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AWESOME!
This is a very thorough text on vascular sonography. Covers all apsects of vascular from peripheral to abdominal. Explains hemodynamics of blood flow and pathology. Excellent text to study for the boards and use in clinical practice.
