This book provides an understanding of the underlying scientific principles in the production of B-mode and Colour Flow imaging and Spectral Doppler sonograms. A basic description of common vascular diseases is given along with a practical guide as to how ultrasound is used to detect and quantify the disease. Possible treatments of common vascular diseases and disorders are outlined. Ultrasound is often used in post-treatment assessment and this is also discussed. The role of ultrasound in the formation and follow-up of haemodialysis access is a growing field and is covered in detail.

Testimonials
Business Application
“On the dollars-and-cents side, it seemed to us that there were some economies of scale and economic benefits of going to the outsourcing mode, ... The real hurdle for us was more of an emotional one in that we would be giving up control over a very, very, very important business application.”
