This is a great book. It has lots of excellent diagrams which clearly explain complex topics in vascular ultrasound.

He has taught hundreds of physicians and technologists about vascular ultrasound at Harvard Medical School. This book covers arterial and venous ultrasound from head to toe and is highly recommended.
