Vascular Imaging by Color Doppler and Magnetic Resonance

This textbook present thorough coverage of color doppler and magnetic resonance imaging of the vascular system. The text is divided into three sections allowing the reader to proceed systematically and rapidly from the basics of vascular anatomy, blood flow physiology and imaging technologyto the current clinical applications of both methods. The individual topics are treated in a clear, concise yet comprehensive manner, providing easy access to the methods and their applications: beginners as well as experts will find here a useful reference. Due to the interdisciplinary character of modern vascular medicine, the textbook addresses a wide spectrum of specialists such as radiologists, cardiologists and vascular surgeons concerned with the advanced noninvasive diagnostics of vascular pathology and function.

The textbook covers the basic principles and clinical application of color doppler and magnetic resonance in vascular imaging. The text is divided into thirteen concise and well illustrated chapters and provides the reader with a complete and definite tutorial in the state-of-the-art of the two most powerful noninvasive vascular imaging methods. The emphasis was put on a sytematic and didactic build-up from the elementary to the advanced to provide a balanced information to the beginner as well as the expert in the field of cardiovascular imaging.
