Qualitative Assessment of Cerebral Dyshemia
ATLAS OF THE CLINICAL INTERPRETATION OF DOPPLEROGRAMS OF THE CEREBRAL ARTERIES AND VEINS BY THE AUTHOR’S METHOD OF ULYANA B. LUSHCHYK, M.D., Ph.D.
Lushchyk U. B.
The educational manual developed according to the educational program of the scientific center “Istyna”, maintained by the Department of Health of Ukraine
The present manual is a book, atlas & teach-yourself book of the unique methods of the clinical interpretation of ultrasound dopplerograms for the qualitative assessment arterial-venous – liquor balance disturbances in the functioning of the vascular cerebral system.
The educational manual provides fundamentals for USD of the cerebral-vascular pathology owing to methods of the USD dopplerography.
We have considered a new methodical approach to clinical ultrasound diagnosis cerebrovascular diseases including anatomic-physiological peculiarities of blood supply for arterial and venous cerebral beds, fundamentals for the topography of vascularization of the brain. The present manual presents main approaches to realizing of the physics of ultrasound phenomena and principles of the up-to-date ultrasound system’s functioning and also describes the clinical and dopplerographic picture that shows functioning of the collateral circulation tract, steal – syndromes. The illustrative material is proposed for more convenient assimilation of the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the methods adoption.
The present manual is complied for medical students, post-graduate students, family physicians, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, angiologists, angiosurgeons, and doctors of the functional and radial diagnosis, doctors of the intensive therapy departments.
