Editorial Reviews

Review

"The chapters dedicated to the exploration of intracranial vessels, arteries, and veins are all of high quality and are a pleasure to read. Reading the second chapter is entrancing.. The seventh chapter..is of exceptional quality, both for iconography and for the richness of the information provided. This volume, with its text illustrated by a rich and informative iconography and by an ample bibliography, is to be used, in particular, by experienced sonographers. Its place is in the library of anyone specialized in vascular imaging."--Clinical Imaging

"This is a practical introductory manual to the study of arteries and veins in the cerebral and peripheral circulation and boasts more than 500 illustrations including drawings and ultrasound images. This is a well-written reference book, ideal for teaching purposes and an excellent guide for those about to embark on the study of the anatomy and pathology of the vascular system."--Rivista di Neuroradiologia
