New York/Stuttgart, April 2009 – Vascular Imaging is the latest volume in a series of Thieme pocketbooks focusing on the twelve main subspecialties of radiology. This up-to-date reference includes all the vascular cases a radiologist is most likely to encounter during a typical working day, with just the right level of detail to make diagnoses efficiently, and to communicate appropriately with referring colleagues.

In the spirit of the Dx-Direct series, the book gets straight to the point. Vascular Imaging concisely relays all the relevant textual and visual information needed to achieve a high degree of confidence in recognizing and diagnosing all the more common vascular disorders. The more than 250 high quality images, consisting of X-ray, color Doppler ultrasound, CT and MRI, are central features of the book.
