Synopsis

Now in its revised, updated Second Edition, this volume is a thorough, practical guide to the use of Doppler sonography in evaluating peripheral vascular disease. Dr. Polak describes techniques for optimizing image acquisition and provides the clinical and pathophysiologic information necessary for accurate image interpretation. This edition features over 600 new illustrations, including 197 full-color images throughout the book. The chapters cover neck arteries, venous thrombosis, chronic venous thrombosis and venous insufficiency, peripheral arterial disease, and imaging after operative and endovascular interventions. The images are linked to descriptions of pathophysiologic processes so that readers clearly understand the clinical significance of sonographic findings.

About this title

Review

American Journal of Roentgenology, E. Kent Yucel -- Praise for the previous edition: "The book is packed with the kind of detailed, clinically useful pointers that are usually sorely lacking in the typical radiology textbook ... and that can be provided only by someone with as deep a knowledge of his field as Dr. Polak."-American Journal of Roentgenology
