The use of neurovascular ultrasound is of increasing importance in
neurological practice, both for radiologists and increasingly by
neurologists themselves. Written by the world’s most renowned
expert, this book explains
* * ultrasound examination of a stroke patient
* scanning protocols
* interpretation of the results
Case examples (with a standard template presentation correlating
presentation to waveform output) reinforce the book’s practical
nature.
Illustrated with photos of the tests, explanations, and with
actual waveforms, images, and result interpretation, and enhanced
with ‘pearls’ and ‘avoiding pitfalls’ features, it is a practical
reference for those learning ultrasound as well as those using
ultrasound in their practices.
