For novice scanners and for sonographers and echocardiographers cross-training in vascular ultrasound, here is the improved third edition of Don Ridgway's very popular, unabashedly practical, and famously unique guide to performing vascular studies—now with Uncle Don's Bonus Image Section, new chapters on the Doppler principle, those darn Doppler angles, and other vascular diagnostic modalities, plus new illustrations, new scanning exercises, and expanded coverage of carotid scanning, abdominal Doppler, upper and lower extremity scanning, and color flow imaging. As if that weren't enough, the latest edition is approved for 12 hours of SDMS-approved CME credit.
Additional highlights that have endeared Don Ridgway to thousands of readers, propelling his how-to-scan guide up the ratings chart at Amazon.com:
 Seven Tips toward Good Probesmanship
The Important and Somewhat Tricky Bifurcation Maneuver
Three commandments: Keep it centered (transverse), Check beam
angle (transverse), and Keep it level (longitudinal)
Getting Stuck: A Word about the Flop Sweats
A Doppler Miscellany, including Those Darn Doppler Angles
Very well illustrated and very reader friendly, this revised third edition is better than ever! 304 pages, 372 figures, 28 color plates, 15 tables, and 10 scanning exercises and quizzes with 163 individual problems. Includes index, glossary, and CME component.
