Description
This important reference provides complete and current information on the applications of transcranial Doppler ultrasound in the evaluation of cerebrovascular diseases. The book gives practical instructions for performing examinations, explains how to interpret results, provides essential data on normal values, and describes the use of the technique in specific clinical situations such as stroke, head injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage and vasospasm, arteriovenous malformations, and monitoring during carotid surgery. Coverage includes thorough discussions on recent clinical studies, new refinements in transcranial Doppler sonography, and new applications such as monitoring of critically ill patients and detection of cerebral emboli in patients with suspected transient ischemic symptoms. The book also offers comprehensive guidelines on the pediatric applications of transcranial Doppler. More than 200 illustrations, including 20 in full color, complement the text
