Book Description

Dr. Polak has created a self-learning/review text for all health care professionals involved in diagnosing and treating peripheral vascular disease. Throughout the text, images are linked to descriptions of the pathophysiologic processes of each disorder. Clear line drawings and clinical vignettes help clarify the topic. Unlike other standard clinical references, this unique volume emphasizes self-testing, actively involving the reader. In addition, the book explores the role of color Doppler in the diagnosis of vascular disease, and compares this modality with ultrasound, all in a clear, straightforward fashion that beginners will appreciate

Review

American Journal of Roentgenology, E. Kent Yucel -- Praise for the previous edition: "The book is packed with the kind of detailed, clinically useful pointers that are usually sorely lacking in the typical radiology textbook ... and that can be provided only by someone with as deep a knowledge of his field as Dr. Polak."-American Journal of Roentgenology --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

This review is from: Peripheral Vascular Sonography (Hardcover)

This is a great book. It has lots of excellent diagrams which clearly explain complex topics in vascular ultrasound. Dr Polak is a world famous expert on vascular ultrasound and has written numerous papers in the medical literature on vascular ultrsound. He supervises a vascular ultrsound lab and is also an invasive radiologist who uses vascular ultrasound for performing procedures such as venous access, TIPS, and thrombolysis. He has taught hundreds of physicians and technologists about vascular ultrasound at Harvard Medical School. This book covers arterial and venous ultrasound from head to toe and is highly recommended. This is the best book ever written on vascular ultrasound that I am aware of. I am a physician and supervisor of the vascular lab at my hospital.
