The most authoritative guide to sonography in obstetrics and gynecology—completely revised to reflect the latest technologies and practices Written by radiologists and ob/gyns to provide a balanced perspective, this standard-setting guide is both a clinically relevant reference text and atlas. Presented in full color and enhanced by more than 2000 illustrations, it expertly examines the full spectrum of disorders and conditions likely to be encountered in gynecologic and maternal-fetal care. Readers will find coverage of the latest procedures and diagnostic guidelines for the use of sonography in ob/gyn, including 3D and 4D image processing, transvaginal sonography, and color Doppler sonography. The book opens with general obstetric sonography, covering such pivotal topics as normal pelvic anatomy and fetal echocardiography, before moving into fetal anomalies and disorders. Risk assessment and therapy, including first trimester screening and amniocentesis, are explored in the next section, while the remaining parts of the book focus on maternal disorders, gynecological sonography, and the newest complementary imaging modalities. • All-inclusive coverage of everything from sonographic operating instruments and screening the fetal patient for syndromes and anomalies, to diagnosing the female patient for cysts, infertility, and incontinence • Learning aids include: a “key points” section in each chapter; skill-building clinical scenarios; a stronger focus on differential diagnosis; multiple visuals (figure, illustration, or table) on each page; and helpful chapter-opening summaries • New chapters on enhanced myometrial vascularity, Doppler sonography of abnormal fetal condition, sonography of uterine scar pregnancies, ultrasound-guided fetal therapy, evaluation of acute and chronic pelvic pain, and contrast-enhanced

The quick-reference guide for the diagnosis and treatment of fetal anomalies – completely updated with a new full-color design Structural Fetal Abnormalities delivers practical, authoritative coverage of the detection and treatment of 125 of the most common fetal anomalies, grouped by organ system, and presented in concise bulleted text. This edition is highlighted by a new full-color design, hundreds of new high-quality images, and updated content that reflects the most current treatment methods. The book has been hailed for its consistent templated chapter structure (covering important topics such as Epidemiology/Genetics, Sonography, Pregnancy Management, Neonatal Management, Interventions and Surgical Options), hundreds of sonographic and gross clinical images show all stages of fetus development, and sonography findings that include pitfalls and differential diagnosis. The text has been completely revised under new lead editor W. Allen Hogge.

The most trusted, all-in-one guide to fetal brain imaging—now in full color Edited and written by recognized experts, this acclaimed reference is a highly clinical text and visual atlas. It facilitates a thorough comprehension of the normal and abnormal fetal central nervous system—and helps you apply one of the most important advances in modern perinatology: the early detection of central nervous system anomalies. Here, you will find the full spectrum of prenatal sonography tools and insights, from using ultrasound and MRI to diagnose the fetal face, eye, and brain, to the neurobehavioral development of the fetal brain. Featuring a new full-color presentation and an enhanced, reader-friendly design, the third edition of this unmatched guide is completely refreshed to mirror the significant advances made in imaging resolution and three-dimensional Doppler technology. In addition, the book reflects the growing interest in imaging the fetal nervous system as it pertains to the fetal brain. FEATURES New full-color design and additional figures, tables, and graphs New chapter on ventriculomegaly examines the most common presenting sonographic sign of brain pathology New chapters on the evaluation of the fetal cortex and posterior fossa shed light on diagnostically problematic areas of the fetal brain New chapters highlighting intrauterine insults, intrauterine infections, and metabolic disorders demonstrate the progress being made in areas that have become critical to fetal neuroscans Greater emphasis on the use of high frequency and deep penetrating ultrasound transducer probes clearly explain how they can yield high-resolution pictures of the fetal brain and spine Latest perspectives on dissemination of 3D ultrasound techniques and magnetic resource imaging are interwoven into individual chapters to encourage their adoption in daily clinical practice More detailed examination of imaging the fetal brain is based on leading-edge, peer-reviewed research from around the world SI units are included throughout Numerous new 2D and 3D ultrasound images and updated literature references contribute to the most current overview available of this dynamic specialty
