Cerebrovascular Ultrasound: Theory, Practice and Future Developments

By Michael G. Hennerici

Book Overview

This comprehensive text covers the fundamentals of ultrasound physics, new technology, and clinical applications in all ages. It provides a firm grounding in hemodynamics and describes computational models for study of the cerebral circulation. Extracranial applications in assessing the carotid and vertebral arteries are discussed in detail, as are intracranial Doppler applications in stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, arteriovenous malformations, interventional and surgical procedures, and the detection and monitoring of cerebral microembolism. Extensive illustrations and tables include standardized classifications of cerebrovascular diseases based on international consensus conferences.
