Cerebrovascular Ultrasound in Stroke Prevention and Treatment

Cerebrovascular Ultrasound in Stroke Prevention and Treatment, Second Edition, assists neurologists, radiologists, and ultrasonographers in stroke therapy by providing practical approaches to the examination of patients, the interpretation of ultrasound studies, and the application of cerebrovascular ultrasound in the development of management and treatment studies. Full-color images and case studies add to the book's appeal. Andrei V.
