Techniques of Abdominal Vascular Sonography DVD
An In-Depth Presentation of Abdominal Vasculature

Techniques of Abdominal Vascular Sonography DVD
Marsha M. Neumyer, BS, RVT, FSVU
Brian L. Thiele, MD
D.E. Strandness, Jr., MD

ISBN: 0941022722
Format: DVD
Catalog No: 11048
Price: $79.95

Abdominal vascular sonography is an application in evolution, one made possible by advances in imaging and Doppler technology and by the pioneering clinical work of several groups, including the teams directed by Marsha Neumyer and Brian Thiele at Penn State and the late Gene Strandness at the University of Washington. Technically, abdominal vascular sonography is the most challenging of the vascular applications. The vessels are deeper than those of the neck and extremities and, except for the aorta, rather small. They often travel at awkward angles to the transducer, making it difficult to place a sample volume and obtain reasonably accurate velocity measurements. These and other factors make abdominal vascular sonography highly operator- and volume-dependent and therefore more successful in some hands than others, as reflected in the literature. Here for the first time the acknowledged expertise and long experience of the Vascular Studies Section at Penn State’s Milton S. Hershey Medical Center is distilled in a presentation that covers the following:

The visceral vascular anatomy.

The ultrasonographic appearance of the vascular arteries and
     veins.

The hemodynamics of the visceral vasculature, including the
     hepatoportal, mesenteric, and renal circulatory systems.

The pitfalls of abdominal vascular sonography.

The solutions to diagnostic dilemmas.

The information obtained by abdominal vascular sonography can play a major role in the diagnostic algorithms for a number of presenting complaints and conditions. This video is an important contribution to the training and continuing education of the vascular technologists and sonographers who obtain this information and the physicians who direct and interpret these studies.

Clinical Guide to Ultrasonography
Pathology-Focused Ultrasound Textbook

Clinical Guide to Ultrasonography
Charlotte Henningsen, MS, RT, RDMS, RVT

CME Credits: 10 hours
ISBN: 0323019382
Format: Softcover
Catalog No: 18026
Price: $99.95

New and unique, this very well-illustrated book by Charlotte Henningsen and 28 contributing experts explains ultrasound as it is practiced—by clinical scenario, including presenting complaints, patient symptoms, rule-out orders, and the like. Rather than chapters on organ systems, here ultrasound is presented as it is practiced in real life by real sonographers dealing with real problems: right upper quadrant pain, lost IUD, hematuria, breast mass, neck mass, uncertain last menstrual period, bleeding with pregnancy, pulsatile abdominal mass, epigastric pain, R/O renal failure, pediactric mass, etc.

The book is divided into four main parts—Abdomen, Gynecology, Obstetrics, and Superficial Structures—and covers them thoroughly. Substantial chapters on breast ultrasound and neonatal neurosonography will please registry candidates, students, and practitioners alike. So will the last section on miscellaneous clinical situations and conditions, including carotid artery disease, hip dysplasia, and leg pain.

Each chapter begins, proceeds, and concludes in the same clinically relevant format:

Clinical scenario

Objectives

Glossary of terms

Pathological conditions

Sonographic findings

Case studies for discussion

Study questions

References and Bibliography

Reader-friendly tables and boxed information highlight key concepts and information, and a wealth of images and schematic illustrations clarify sonographic anatomy and findings.

We like this book! It develops and promotes critical thinking when and where it counts. At the same time it is a well-formatted quick reference for departments, a clinically oriented textbook for students heading out to clinical sites, and a valuable adjunct to registry prep—specifically with regard to the applied-knowledge questions that typify the ARDMS exams. It's also a very nice complement to the Davies mock exams—available both in book and CD-ROM formats. Ultrasound educators: Call for information about the image collection available on CD-ROM. Mosby. 1,100+ illustrations, 36 color plates. 550 pp.
