Description

Principles of Vascular and Intravascular Ultrasound—a title in the Principles of Cardiovascular Imaging series—has everything you need to successfully obtain and interpret vascular ultrasound images. Stuart J. Hutchison—a premier cardiac imaging specialist—explains the dos and don’ts of ultrasound so you get the best images and avoid artifacts. Get only the coverage you need with clinically oriented, practical information presented in a consistent format that makes finding everything quick and easy.

  • Focuses on clinically oriented and practical information so that you get only the coverage that you need.
  • Explains how to obtain the best image quality and avoid artifacts through instructions on how to and how not to perform vascular ultrasound.
  • Provides excellent visual guidance through high-quality images—many in color—that reinforce the quality of information in the text.
  • Includes numerous tables with useful values and settings to help you master probe settings and measurements.
  • Presents material in a consistent format that makes it easy to find information.

Preface
Vascular ultrasound represents one of the first successful applications of Doppler ultrasound to clinical medicine, and it has evolved to be a versatile diagnostic test for the assessment of both arterial and venous disease. Given the anatomic extent and potential complexities of arterial and venous trees and the inherent requirements of ultrasound imaging, vascular ultrasound has its limitations, but when approached properly and formally (with thorough and structured protocols), it is a very useful diagnostic tool. Attention to technique and to detail and an attempt to have the greatest knowledge possible of native anatomy and its variants, vascular diseases and their permutations, and interventional and surgical techniques maximize the yield of vascular ultrasound.
The historic standard of comparison of vascular ultrasound has been conventional angiography/venography. With the progress and developments of computed tomography (CT) angiography and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography, both of which also have as their basis of comparison conventional angiography, the respective roles of vascular ultrasound, CT angiography, and MR angiography are evolving and are slowly being defined. Each modality has its strengths and weaknesses. CT and MR angiography are anatomic tests; vascular ultrasound is both a physiologic and an anatomic test. Vascular ultrasound is still currently the pre-eminent noninvasive test of venous disease; CT venography is less competitive. CT angiography is certainly a rising contributor to the assessment of arterial disease, but vascular ultrasound remains a radiation-free means to initially assess arterial disease.
This book is our attempt to summarize and provide our experience, principles, and approach to the application of vascular ultrasound to the arterial and venous vascular fields, and also a platform from which to stalwartly encourage structured and thorough technique and protocol, as well as awareness of disease permutations.
It is our hope that this book will prove useful to those who are dedicated to providing care to patients through the clinical application of vascular ultrasound.

Key Points

Maximizing and easing optimal image acquisition is achieved by:
Integration of knowledge of anatomy, disease, machine factors, and scanning technique
Effort and persistence

Basic Guidelines

Optimizing Settings: Beyond Factory Presets
Although providing a useful starting point, factory settings and algorithms are designed for optimal scanning of patients of average body habitus, without consideration of precisely what is to be depicted or measured. Further optimization and enhancement of the image and color or spectral Doppler for a particular study/zone can be achieved by directed empiric manual adjustment of machine settings. Knowledge and confidence with machine settings provides incremental diagnostic yield and avoidance of many artifacts.

Knowledge of Anatomic Variants: As Important As Knowledge of Normal Anatomy
Arterial, and especially venous, anatomy is subject to a considerable range of variation. Failing to consider
