"Noninvasive Cerebrovascular Diagnosis" is the newest definitive text on the current techniques used in assessing vascular disorders. Readers will receive authoritative information and will be guided through the establishment and accreditation of a vascular laboratory and introduced to the physics of diagnostic testing. Chapters, written by selected experts, comprehensively explain the use of ultrasound in diagnosing cerebrovascular, renovascular, visceral ischemia and peripheral arterial disease as well as venous disorders and deep abdominal vascular conditions. Noninvasive Vascular Diagnosis contains over 300 illustrations, many of them in colour. Due to the special sections which give clinical correlations, this book will be invaluable to physicians who treat vascular disorders, surgeons, cardiologists, vascular radiologists and the vascular laboratory staff.

John J. Bergan MD is founder of The Vein Institute in La Jolla and is a staff surgeon at Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla, California, USA. Ali F. AbuRahma, M.D. is Professor of Surgery at the Robert C Byrd Health Sciences Center of West Virginia University, Charleston, West Virginia, USA. Dr Bergan is a world-renowned vascular surgeon who has already authored or edited thirty textbooks, nine of which are on venous disorders, including, for Springer, Chronic Venous Insufficiency: Diagnosis and Treatment with Jeffrey Ballad (1-85233-172-0) and Atlas of Endoscopic Perforator Vein Surgery with Peter Gloviczki (3-540-76171-3). Dr Bergan and Dr AbuRahma have collaborated previously and were the editors of the Springer title Noninvasive Vascular Diagnosis (1-85233-128-3), which was published in November 1999.

From the reviews:

“This book covers the full spectrum of noninvasive cerebrovascular diagnostics from the basics of ultrasound to the many clinical applications of ultrasound in vascular surgery. … Vascular surgeons, surgical residents and fellows, radiologists, and vascular technologists will find this book very useful. … This is an excellent book for vascular personnel, in practice and in training. It is up to date, referencing recent literature. Other books cover similar material, but this one is a nice read with clear explanations.” (Mark L. Keldahl, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2010)
