      L’écho-Doppler est l’examen d’imagerie effectué en première intention devant une maladie vasculaire. Extrêmement répandu, il n’en demeure pas moins d’un apprentissage délicat. D’une part, le caractère opérateur-dépendant de la technique implique des compétences solides pour la pratique de l’examen ; d’autre part, son interprétation est souvent complexe et requiert d’excellentes bases d’anatomie, d’hémodynamique et une bonne connaissance des maladies vasculaires. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif d’offrir un accès rapide aux connaissances indispensables à la maîtrise de cette technique et à son interprétation. Les deux grands types d’écho-Doppler sont abordés : – périphérique (troncs supra-aortiques, transcrânien, membres supérieurs, hémodialyse, aorte abdominale, membres inférieurs) ; – viscéral (artères digestives, réseau porte, artères rénales, greffon rénal). Dans un souci de pédagogie, chaque chapitre suit un plan identique : anatomie, techniques d’explorations, résultats normaux, résultats pathologiques, résultats après gestes de revascularisation les plus fréquents, pièges et limites, l’indispensable dans le compte rendu. Les aspects techniques (réglages, produits de contraste) font l’objet de chapitres dédiés. L’ouvrage est accompagné d’un complément en ligne de 14 vidéos d’écho-Doppler. Ce livre s’adresse aux médecins de toute discipline, et plus largement à tous les « examinateurs » amenés à pratiquer ces examens.
