The use of neurovascular ultrasound is of increasing importance inneurological practice, both for radiologists and increasingly byneurologists themselves. Written by the world's most renownedexpert, this book explains
* * ultrasound examination of a stroke patient
* scanning protocols
* interpretation of the results
Case examples (with a standard template presentation correlatingpresentation to waveform output) reinforce the book's practicalnature.
Illustrated with photos of the tests, explanations, and withactual waveforms, images, and result interpretation, and enhancedwith 'pearls' and 'avoiding pitfalls' features, it is a practicalreference for those learning ultrasound as well as those usingultrasound in their practices.
