Carotid Duplex Ultrasonography presents every aspect of carotid duplex ultrasonography, including anatomy and physiology, the basics of ultrasound, and the performance of carotid duplex scanning.

Following this, several real-life cases are presented, and the user is instructed to answer questions, such as which probe to use, what the study reveals, etc.

All aspects of duplex scanning, including non-atherosclerotic carotid disorders (fibromuscular dysplasia, spontaneous dissection, etc) and carotid stent-supported angioplasty, are reviewed in-depth.
