Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke Book / DVD

The essentials in cerebrovascular disease management Neurosonology is a key modality in diagnosis and management of cerebrovascular disease and especially of stroke. Now, in this book, this non-invasive, real time imaging method is placed firmly in the clinical context. This book offers both an outstanding overview of the principles of neurosonology and a casebook posing interesting angiologic questions. Ultrasound anatomy, technical aspects of clinical application, and the advantages and limitations of ultrasound are reviewed with reference to conventional angiography, MR and CT angiography. Thirty selected cases from the authors’ extensive experience gained at the Department of Neurology at the Charité University Hospital, Berlin, Germany are then discussed. The patient history and initial hypothesis are followed by detailed assessment of the extra- and intracranial color-coded duplex sonography findings and additional diagnostic procedures. Videos of the same cases on the DVD provide insight into the diagnostic method. Features: • Complete extra- and intracranial arterial and venous ultrasound examination • More than 750 high-quality illustrations, including full-color Doppler images • 30 selected clinical cases graded from easy to difficult in terms of neurosonologic complexity • DVD with almost 100 videoclips brings ultrasound anatomy and real cases right to your screen! Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke offers neurologists, neuroradiologists, and all physicians treating patients with cerebrovascular disease an authoritative guide to this indispensable diagnostic tool.
