NEUROSONOLOGY AND NEUROIMAGING OF STROKE + VIDEOS

Neurosonology is a first-line modality in the diagnosis andmanagement of cerebrovascular disease and especially of stroke. In this newedition of Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke, this noninvasive, realtimeimaging method has been given expanded coverage, particularly for its clinicalutility.

As in the first edition, the new edition offers both a clearoverview of the principles of neurosonology and a casebook exploring criticalcerebrovascular problems. Ultrasound anatomy, technical aspects of clinicalapplication, and the advantages and limitations of ultrasound are reviewed andcontrasted to conventional, magnetic resonance, and computed tomographyangiography. Forty-five selected cases from the authors' extensive collectionsat Charite - Universitatsmedizin Berlin and the Center of Neurology in BadSegeberg, Germany, are then discussed. The patient histories and workingdiagnoses are followed by detailed assessments of the extra- and intracranialcolor-coded duplex sonographic findings and additional diagnostic procedures.The relevant clinical aspects are presented in a compact, comprehensible way,and for the majority of the cases videos are available in the ThiemeMediaCenter, providing further in-depth understanding of the full potential ofthe method.

Features:

Complete extra- and intracranial arterial and venousultrasound examination

New techniques: ultrasound fusion imaging, ultrafastultrasound, contrast application

More than 1,300 high-quality illustrations, includingfull-color duplex images

Fifteen newly selected cases on conditions such assubarachnoid hemorrhage and dural fistula, as well as rare stroke causesincluding sickle cell disease and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome

Revision of many cases from the first edition

More than 60 new video clips (for a total of 130) availableat the ThiemeMediaCenter, bringing ultrasound anatomy and challenging cases toyour monitor!

Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke, Second Edition,offers neurologists, neuroradiologists, and all physicians treating patientswith cerebrovascular disease an authoritative introduction and guide to thispowerful diagnostic tool.
