Imaging in vascular surgery

A modern vascular service cannot function without high quality, timely and relevant diagnostic imaging. In this age of evidence-based medicine, radiological findings and their expert interpretation are fundamental in aiding decisions with regard to patient management and surgical intervention. In this chapter we present the basic principles, clinical indications, advantages and limitations of the different imaging modalities used to assess vascular patients including duplex ultrasound (DUS), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MR) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
