VASCULAR DIAGNOSIS

Although not cited as a second edition, this work was preceded by a 1993 book under the same title, edited by Eugene Bernstein. The present volume comprises 54 contributions arranged in three parts. The first, on general aspects, covers hemodynamic principles, measurements, and principles of ultrasound physics and instrumentation, among other topics. The second section is the heart of the book with illustrated chapters on imaging for diagnosis of cerebrovascular, athersclerotic occlusive, and intra-abdominal occlusive diseases; aneurysms; and venous disease. The final section covers miscellaneous topics, among them, evaluation of the hepatoportal circulation, thoracic outlet syndrome, clinical applications of intravascular ultrasound, and coding and reimbursements.
