Description

This new and improved Third Edition of Don Ridgway's unabashedly practical and famously unique how-to guide to vascular scanning will astound and delight both beginners and veterans who are cross-training in vascular ultrasound. Like previous editions, this one contains all of the features that have made this book so popular and useful -- how to scan all of the vascular systems. Other Vascular Modalities, Those Darn Doppler Angles, The Important and Somewhat Tricky Bifurcation Maneuver, Seven Tips toward Good Probesmanship, and Getting Stuck: A Word about the Flop Sweats. In addition to the same great technical illustrations, there are more than fifty duplex scans, color flow images, and Doppler waefors in a special new insert at the front of the book. You won't find anything like this guide for the relative novice. Very reader friendy, very well illustrated, and better than ever. SDMS-approved for 16 hours of CME credit.
