This comprehensive text covers the fundamentals of ultrasound physics, new technology, and clinical applications in all ages. It provides a firm grounding in hemodynamics and describes computational models for study of the cerebral circulation. Extracranial applications in assessing the carotid and vertebral arteries are discussed in detail, as are intracranial Doppler applications in stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, arteriovenous malformations, interventional and surgical procedures, and the detection and monitoring of cerebral microembolism. Extensive illustrations and tables include...

Despite a worldwide reduction in its incidence, stroke remains one of the most common diseases generally and the most important cause of premature and persistent disability in the industrialized countries. The most frequent cause of stroke is a localized disturbance of cerebral circulation, i.e., cerebral ischemia. Less common are spon taneous intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages and sinus ve nous thromboses. The introduction of new diagnostic procedures such as cranial computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, digi tal subtraction radiologic techniques, and various ultrasound...

Gangstorungen sind ein in der Medizin noch weithin unterschatztes Problem. Eine Vielzahl von Patientinnen und Patienten aus verschiedenen Fachbereichen ist davon betroffen -- fur Neurologen, Orthopaden, Geriater, Internisten, Chirurgen, Rehabilitationsmediziner, Physio- und Ergotherapeuten eine immense diagnostische und therapeutische Herausforderung.
Dieses Buch stellt die Physiologie von Stand und Gang von den ersten Schritten des Kindes bis zum Gang alter Menschen dar. Pathophysiologische Einflusse auf die Stabilitatskontrolle und die Lokomotion und deren klinische und technische...
