This timely book describes the theory and techniques of peripheral vascular ultrasound, the new technology forecasted to completely replace angiography in the diagnosis of arterial disease and venous assessment within 10 years. The first section covers the basic principles of physics, instrumentation and hemodynamics. The second section covers anatomy, physiology and pathology, and the practicalities of how to perform each investigation of the carotid arteries, the lower and upper limb arteries and veins, and the aorta. This practical, highly illustrated text is a must for all clinicians who must keep pace with advances in arterial imaging.
