Great introduction 
As a cardiologist with an interest in vascular imaging, this was a very good introduction. I appreciated the colloquial style and illustrations. The only critisism would be the absence of any mention of variations caused by vascular pathology

This book is an absolute must have for anyone in the field--not just for beginners. Donald Ridgway just has a way of explaining the vascular system & scanning techniques like no other. I understand the vascular system & I learned how to scan (pretty much on my own) thanks to his book. Very helpful. Great humor. I hope Donald Ridgway writes a guide for abdominal & ob/gyn scanning in the near future.

A completely fair and balanced five stars
Okay, I'm the author. In all these years no one has ever put a review up here, so I'm going to do it.
This is a guide to scanning the vascular system with ultrasound. It was meant to be a vascular-sonography version of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Volkswagen Repair, or the Pete Seeger banjo book: easy to read and make sense of, and practical. It takes the reader step-by-step through protocols for scanning first carotid arteries, then lower-extremity veins, LE arteries, upper extremities, and the abdomen (though that chapter is necessarily only introductory, since that's an especially complex area). In other words, rather than theory and interpretation, this book is about how to push the probe around and get the images and Doppler--very concrete.
My feedback on this book has always been positive: people tell me that they have been able to learn the techniques with a minimum of grief.
So what the hey, I'm giving myself five stars. Excuse my towering immodesty.
Don
(P.S.: By the way, you ARDMS registry people, this is good for 16 ARDMS-approved units.)
