✦ Synopsis

Noninvasive Vascular Diagnosis is the definitive text on the current techniques used in assessing vascular disorders. The Editors and their international board of Contributors comprehensively cover all aspects of noninvasive evaluation of the circulatory system in the extremities.

Readers of this new and extensively revised edition have at their fingertips authoritative information on the imaging of the peripheral vasculature. They are also guided through the establishment and accreditation of a vascular laboratory and introduced to the theories behind diagnostic testing. There has been expansion of the book by the inclusion of special sections dedicated to the practical clinical management of patients through the vascular laboratory. The book is therefore invaluable to all those working in vascular laboratories as well as cardiologists, general surgeons involved in vascular surgery and the vascular surgery and medicine community in general.
