Cerebrovascular Ultrasound in Stroke Prevention and Treatment [EPUB ebook] 

Effective stroke therapy can be improved through real-time
monitoring of the neurological and cardiovascular responses to
treatment. This requires crucial knowledge on behalf of both the
sonographer and stroke physician to make the best decisions for the
patient so as to minimize the damage caused by the original stroke
and the risk of further stroke.

Cerebrovascular Ultrasound in Stroke Prevention and
Treatment, Second Edition, takes a practical approach to the
examination of patients, the interpretation of ultrasound studies
and the application of cerebrovascular ultrasound in the
development of management and treatment studies, assisting
neurologists, radiologists, and ultrasonographers in stroke
therapy.
