This publication has been commissioned by the Society for Vascular Technology and published in collaboration with IPEM to provide a set of national guidelines for the recommended working practice in vascular laboratories. This informative and educational volume, one of a six part series, deals with the normal and abnormal anatomy and pathology of Viseral blood vessels. The step-by-step ‘How-to-do-it’ protocols cover Duplex Ultrasound assessment of native renal arteries, the native kidney, the transplant kidney, the mesenteric arteries and the portal and hepatic venous systems. This volume is packed with colour figures and diagrams to further aid diagnosis by the vascular ultrasound specialist during the examination of normal and abnormal visceral vessels. These guidelines from SVT should be essential reading for anyone working in a vascular laboratory, vascular radiologists and vascular nurses as well as manufacturers and suppliers of ultrasound equipment
