Vascular Ultrasound: An Interdisciplinary Guide to Color Flow Imaging and CEUS

Edited by Reinhard Kubale, Hubert Stiegler, and Hans-Peter Weskott, this comprehensive guide covers the expanding indications for vascular color duplex sonography (CDS) and its applications in various anatomic regions.

Advancements in Vascular Color Duplex Sonography

In recent years, the availability of power Doppler, B-flow, ultrasound contrast agents, 3D reconstruction techniques, and fusion with other imaging modalities has revolutionized the field of CDS. This has enabled close-interval follow-ups after interventional procedures, leading to improved prognoses.

Comprehensive Coverage of Diagnostic Ultrasound

This book starts with the fundamental principles of diagnostic ultrasound physics and technology, providing invaluable tips on equipment settings, possible artifacts, and limitations. It also covers hemodynamic essentials and the use of ultrasound contrast agents.

Anatomic Region-Based Approach

Subsequent chapters are organized by anatomic region, covering all peripheral and abdominal arterial and venous vascular regions, as well as:

• Microcirculation and tumor perfusion
• Kidney and liver diseases
• Vascular malformations
• Non-atherosclerotic vascular diseases
• The use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in biliary, intestinal, splenic, and pediatric diseases
• Novel and future techniques

Expert Contributions and Visual Aids

Renowned experts from various fields, including angiology, neurology, radiology, vascular surgery, gastroenterology, nephrology, phlebology, rheumatology, laser medicine, and physics, have contributed to this comprehensive guide. In-depth guidance on examination techniques, findings, and potential pitfalls are provided, along with a wealth of comparative CT, MRI, and angiography CDS images and 37 videos to enhance understanding of impacted anatomy and master techniques for accurate diagnoses.
