Riassunto

Among the varied methods of diagnosis in vascular medicine, duplex ultrasonography remains the primary modality, and continues to evolve as an accurate, reproducible, and inexpensive method to diagnose and follow patients with arterial and venous disorders. Duplex ultrasonography also remains the best diagnostic technique for extracranial carotid artery disease. Most atherosclerotic disease is limited to the origin and proximal internal carotid artery, and at this location, the vessel is commonly straight.

This CD-ROM advances the field of multimedia education, presenting every aspect of carotid duplex ultrasonography in this unique format, including anatomy and physiology, the basics of ultrasound, and the performance of carotid duplex scanning. Following this, several real-life cases are presented, and the user is instructed to answer questions, such as which probe to use, what the study reveals, etc. All aspects of duplex scanning, including non-atherosclerotic carotid disorders (fibromuscular dysplasia, spontaneous dissection, etc) and carotid stent-supported angioplasty, are reviewed in-depth.

Recensione:

"This CD is a perfect example of an educational tool...includingthe best of vascular pathology and the most sophisticated use ofmultimedia."

G. Rancurel, Professor of Neurology, Director of the StrokeCenter, Hôpital la Pitié Salpetrière, Paris

"Gathering the information is an important step, it is howevercritical to know the pitfalls of the technique and of thepathology...the aim of this CD is perfectly reached."

J.M. Cormier, Professor of Vascular Surgery, Paris

"We found the section devoted to the vascular anatomy of theCircle of Willis and the description of its variations in schematicformat and a useful aid in understanding the intracranial bloodsupply. Also, recent references have been used in the preparationof this publication, which is a big plus.

"This CD–ROM is well made and should prove useful to bothnovice and experienced physician and technologist sonographers. Wehighly recommend it."
