“Zwiebel,” as this book has come to be known, has earned its place as a standard reference for vascular professionals and multispecialty sonographers. Our own Vascular Technology Review frequently refers to this and the Rumwell/McPharlin book Vascular Technology: An Illustrated Review. Written by leading physicians, Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography is a classic and effective survey that reviews the basics (hemodynamics, ultrasound physics, spectral analysis, color flow imaging, contrast agents) and then covers the role of noninvasive studies, anatomy, exam technique, and interpretation for each of the peripheral vascular subsystems—cerebral, peripheral arterial and venous, and abdominal vascular. This new edition deserves a place in your personal and departmental libraries. For RVT candidates, it is a powerfully effective adjunct to Vascular Technology: An Illustrated Review, Vascular Technology Review, and ScoreCards for Vascular Technology. 10 hours of SDMS-approved CME credit.
