It gives you essential information on color doppler ultrasound and other imaging techniques which are crucial to the early detection of complications.

With each chapter written by a leading expert in that particular subspecialty, the book begins with general background information and techniques, then goes on to address imaging procedures used in transplantation for the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and small bowel.
