About this title

Review:

For use by the physician in the course of diagnosis and treatment. This text boasts many standout features, including discussion of cerebrovascular colour-flow scanning, MR and CT angiography, and vein-graft evaluation. The Electric Review, September 2005 "In addition to the up-dated analysis of the most recent thinking in the field, Vascular benefits from the fact that it is written with the practicing physician in mind - the format conductive to quick referral by the practitioner. In short, this text has a singular and well-focused mission: to help escort the radiologist and surgeon and clinical cardiologist through the great labyrinth of the human vascular system." (The Electric Review, January/February 2006)
