- Pathology
- Clinical presentations
- Differential diagnosis
- What doctors need to know for each condition
- Normal findings and criteria for disease as seen by ultrasound
- Comprehensive protocols for scanning
- Ultrasound images and observations that should be collected for best practice reporting
The authors also discuss interventional vascular ultrasound procedures. Using easy-to-read, point-form text, this concise text is enhanced with high-resolution ultrasound images and clear line diagrams. It provides a consistent, comprehensive, and professional approach to vascular ultrasound.
