Research and Markets: Manual of vascular ultrasound for surgical practice 2009 edition is a practical approach for the novice as well as the more experienced user.

Ultrasound scanning has become an integral and essential part of vascular practice. Because of its non-invasive nature and the immediate difference it can make in clinical decision making it is being taken up by many professions not traditionally trained in its use.

This rapid expansion in would be practitioners has led to a need to have a manual which is easily accessible in size and content. The manual of vascular ultrasound for surgical practice is a practical approach to vascular ultrasound appropriate for the novice as well as the more experienced user. The wealth of colour photographs and scans guide the reader through what to scan, how to optimise images and how to detect pathology.

The first four chapters cover sufficiently the physics of ultrasound to understand ultrasound image acquisition and enhancement. The clinical chapters are structured in a consistent manner, beginning with the relevant evidence base, scanning protocol and techniques, reporting standards and common pitfalls.

The Manual of vascular ultrasound gives the interested reader all he or she needs to establish themselves in vascular ultrasound.

The evolving face of surgical practice has necessitated surgeons and allied professionals to become familiar with ultrasound. Ultrasound had become indispensible to vascular practice. This text provides an introduction to relevant ultrasound physics as well as information regarding how to use a scanner and optimise the scan. The publisher has also provided detailed description of how to perform and report ultrasonographic vascular examination and the evidence base behind the techniques.
