This title is the most authoritative guide to sonography in obstetrics and gynecology that now comes in full color. It offers companion website that includes images, case studies, and more. 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 for the first time. It expertly examines the full spectrum of disorders and conditions likely to encounter in gynecologic and maternal-fetal care that are supported throughout by more than 2,000 detailed sonographic illustrations. This title contains the latest procedures and diagnostic guidelines for the use of sonography in ob/gyn, including 3D and 4D image processing, transvaginal sonography, and color Dopler sonography. It opens with general obstetric sonography, covering such pivotal topics as normal pelvic anatomy and fetal echocardiography, before moving into fetal anomalies and disorders. This title focuses on Risk assessment and therapy, that includes first trimester screening and amniocentesis that 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. It features the most trusted, accessible compendium of sonography in obstetrics and gynecology for residents and practitioners, that is filled with precise illustrations that add clarity to the text's content. It includes the 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. This title offers full-color format to aid readability and ease of use. It includes up-to-date information on the significant advances made in three dimensional and even four-dimensional Doppler technology. It contains learning aids such as: 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. This title offers a companion website filled with concept-clarifying images, video loops, case studies supplemented by Q and As, and cutting-edge insights on a range of integral sonography topics. It also contains SI Units that is incorporated throughout.
