Noninvasive Diagnosis of Vascular Disease explains the anatomy, hemodynamics, pathophysiology, and pathology of the arterial, venous, and cerebrovascular systems. This book begins with a basic background of the noninvasive diagnosis of the arterial occlusive disease, followed by discussions on clinical techniques, diagnostic pitfalls, special problems of interpretation, diagnostic criteria, relative accuracy, and importance of the clinical situation. A brief outline and detailed account of Doppler physics is discussed in Chapters 16 and 21, while the physical phenomena associated with the clinical application of Doppler technology, such as propagation velocity, axial resolution, and lateral resolution are described in Chapter 23. This text concludes with a practical look into the future of Doppler instrumentation and applications of microcomputer technology in the laboratory. This publication is written for surgeons, physicians, technologists, and nurses involved in running a vascular laboratory.
