PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF Vascular TECHNOLOGY: From Hemodynamics to Clinical Diagnosis with Evidence-Based Protocols

Vascular findings make more sense when you understand the blood flow behind them.Principles and Practice of Vascular Technology connects vascular anatomy, hemodynamics, ultrasound physics, and clinical examination in one practical text. Written for vascular technology students and practicing sonographers, it moves from the principles of blood flow to the techniques used to assess arterial and venous disease.Inside, you'll learn to: - Connect vascular anatomy and blood flow principles with Doppler waveforms and imaging findings.- Apply systematic approaches to carotid, peripheral arterial, abdominal, and venous examinations.- Understand physiologic tests, including ankle-brachial index, segmental pressures, and pulse volume recordings.- Examine methods for evaluating deep venous thrombosis, venous reflux, and hemodialysis access.- Recognize technical pitfalls and the importance of accurate measurements, documentation, and quality assurance.- Relate duplex findings to other vascular imaging methods and clinical decisions.From foundational concepts to post-intervention surveillance, this book offers a structured way to strengthen your understanding of vascular testing. Use it as a study companion or a reference when reviewing examination protocols and interpreting findings.
