Neurosonology and neuroimaging of stroke

Más información sobre el libro

Neurosonology is essential for diagnosing and managing cerebrovascular diseases, particularly stroke. This book integrates this non-invasive imaging technique into clinical practice, providing a comprehensive overview of neurosonology principles alongside a casebook featuring intriguing angiologic questions. It reviews ultrasound anatomy, technical applications, and the advantages and limitations of ultrasound compared to conventional angiography, MR, and CT angiography. The authors present thirty selected cases from their extensive experience at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin, detailing patient histories, initial hypotheses, and thorough assessments of extra- and intracranial color-coded duplex sonography findings, along with additional diagnostic procedures. A DVD accompanies the book, featuring videos of the cases that enhance understanding of the diagnostic method. Key features include complete examinations of extra- and intracranial arterial and venous systems, over 750 high-quality illustrations, and 30 clinical cases graded by neurosonologic complexity. This resource serves as an authoritative guide for neurologists, neuroradiologists, and all physicians involved in treating cerebrovascular disease, highlighting the importance of neurosonology in clinical settings.
