Thieme Publishers, part of STM publisher Thieme Publishing Group, Germany, has announced the availability of Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke, a publication showcasing innovative applications that harness the whole power of ultrasound technology.
Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke is divided into two parts. Part A lays out the basic principles of cerebrovascular disease and neurologic ultrasound imaging, assisting the reader in acquiring a fundamental understanding of neurosonology. In part B, the more extensive of the two sections, the clinical advantages and disadvantages of a variety of vascular diagnostic methods are demonstrated in relation to ultrasound via 30 case histories selected from a broad field of neurovascular diseases. The detailed case studies range from acute stroke to vascular malformations.
Neurosonology and Neuroimaging of Stroke is projected as a comprehensive and authoritative guide for diagnosis, and follow-up evaluation for neurologists, neuroradiologists and any physician treating patients with cerebrovascular disease and particularly stroke. The publication contains more than 750 full-colour, high-quality images. Doppler illustrations in the book are supplemented by almost 100 video clips of ultrasound examinations on the accompanying DVD, showing in simulated real time the pulsations and flow of blood in the cerebral vasculature. Technical aspects of clinical applications as well as the advantages and limitations of ultrasound are evaluated in reference to conventional angiography, MRI and CT angiography.
