Beschreibungen

Effective stroke therapy can be improved through real-time monitoring of the neurological and cardiovascular responses to treatment. This requires crucial knowledge on behalf of both the sonographer and stroke physician to make the best decisions for the patient so as to minimize the damage caused by the original stroke and the risk of further stroke. <p><i>Cerebrovascular Ultrasound in Stroke Prevention and Treatment, Second Edition,</i> takes a practical approach to the examination of patients, the interpretation of ultrasound studies and the application of cerebrovascular ultrasound in the development of management and treatment studies, assisting neurologists, radiologists, and ultrasonographers in stroke therapy.</p>

"This is a one-of-a-kind book dedicated to cerebrovascular ultrasound as an extension of the neurovascular examination. Neurosonology is a very exciting emerging field and this book is well written with excellent illustrations, didactic, and easy and fun to read. . . This is a great contribution to the field of vascular neurology and it will expand and enhance the knowledge of vascular neurosonology, hopefully making it more widely available in clinical practice."

<b>Imagine sampling tissues and flow behavior in real time at a rate of 5 thousand a second</b> <p>This is the power of ultrasound for stroke diagnosis and management. It’s also non-invasive, portable, and versatile. Yet it is a woefully underused modality in stroke medicine.</p> <p>The second edition of <i>Cerebrovascular Ultrasound in Stroke Prevention and Treatment</i> allows all involved in treating stroke patients to learn how ultrasound can enrich their ability to diagnose, evaluate, and treat stroke. It helps sonographers and physicians understand what information can be gained from ultrasound imaging generally, as well as what is needed for a specific case. The authors present a full overview of the "how"s and "why"s, including:</p> <ul> <li>The principles of intra- and extra-cranial ultrasound</li> <li>Hemodynamic principles</li> <li>The criteria of interpretation</li> <li>Ultrasound in neurocritical care</li> <li>Ultrasound in acute stroke</li> </ul> <p>A final chapter on Neurosonology Pearls provides diagnostic waveforms, images, and practical wisdom on best-practice use of ultrasound for monitoring cerebrovascular disease.</p> <p><i>Cerebrovascular Ultrasound in Stroke Prevention and Treatment</i> provides neurologists, radiologists, vascular medicine specialists, and sonographers with the basics for developing the skills needed for truly modern stroke diagnosis and care.</p> <p><b>Titles of Related Interest<br /> </b><i>Intracranial Atherosclerosis<br /> </i>Edited by: Kim, Caplan and Wong; ISBN 978-1-4051-7822-8</p> <p><i>Stroke: Practical Management</i>, 3e<br /> Warlow et al.; ISBN 978-1-4051-2766-0</p> <p><i>A Primer on Stroke Prevention and Treatment: An overview based on AHA/ASA Guidelines</i><br /> Edited by: Goldstein; ISBN 978-1-4051-8651-3</p>
