This practical text and atlas is aimed at all sonographers and sonologists who perform basic obstetric ultrasound. In the opening chapters, Dr. Hegge presents an approach to the fetal anatomy survey designed to meet emerging standards of practice in a practical and effective manner. The second half of the book is an atlas of the sonography identifiable anomalies sought at each step of the fetal anatomy survey.

Covering every aspect of fetal heart examination and all major cardiac malformations, A Practical Guide to Fetal Echocardiography is widely acknowledged as the definitive text in this challenging field. This award-winning title clearly depicts examples of commonly seen abnormalities and day-to-day cases, as well as rare pathology. Authored by renowned experts, the fully updated fourth edition is a lavishly illustrated, easy-to-read text designed to serve as a comprehensive reference for all practitioners involved in cardiac imaging.

FETAL ANOMALIES Advances in ultrasound technology are reshaping the field of health care for obstetricians and pediatric specialists. Detailed fetal imaging has enabled medical professionals to detect fetal structural anomalies and research practical guidelines for prenatal diagnosis and postnatal management. Fetal Anomalies: Ultrasound Diagnosis and Postnatal Management is a practical sourcebook with images of structural fetal malformations on a continuum that begins at the stage of ultrasonographic identification, progressing to characterization in the newborn period, and culminating in repair and postoperative follow up. This comprehensive text correlates pre- and post-natal images with the type of treatment appropriate to structural anomalies of the different organ systems. Numerous examples from each organ system are included and the material is clinically oriented. Fetal Anomalies: Ultrasound Diagnosis and Postnatal Management reviews such topics as: Externally visible defects Skeletal dysplasia Central nervous, gastrointestinal, urinary, and genital systems Umbilical cord anomalies Abnormalities specific to multiple pregnancies Abnormalities of amniotic fluid volume Abnormalities that elude prenatal detection Incorporating the pictorial strengths of an atlas with the didactic utility of a reference work, Fetal Anomalies: Ultrasound Diagnosis and Postnatal Management is a unique book bridging various specialties that comprise maternal-fetal medicine, such as obstetrics, diagnostic imaging, neonatology, perinatology, surgery, and urology.

An easy-to-use and lavishly illustrated guide for those who perform fetal echocardiograms to obtain a complete evaluation of the normal and abnormal fetal heart. Chapters cover the normal fetal heart with focus on normal anatomy and offer detailed discussion of fetal cardiac malformations. Ultrasound images are shown in black and white and color; pathology images are shown in color. Each disorder is defined and discussed in terms of ultrasound findings (including associated cardiac/extracardiac findings), differential diagnosis and prognosis/outcome. Key points are given at the end of each discussion.

The most frequently asked questions that confront the fetal medicine trainee/expert on a daily basis are “Is the finding real or merely an artifact?” and “Is the diagnosis correct?”. However, to be able to find the description of an abnormal ultrasound finding in a textbook, one generally has to search by the definite diagnosis, which has not been done as yet. This uneasy feeling was the first factor that directed the layout of Ultrasound of Congenital Fetal Anomalies: Differential Diagnosis and Prognostic Indicators, Second Edition. Copiously illustrated, the book displays fetal anomalies by scanning view and descriptions of all major ultrasound planes, detailing what can be considered a normal view and what cannot. See What’s New in the Second Edition: Early detection of fetal anomalies (1214 weeks) Ultrasound in fetal infections and in twins The nuchal translucency issue, the newest intracranial translucency as well as the range of congenital anomalies detectable at this gestational age Expanded coverage of heart anomalies, including arrhythmias and early fetal echocardiography The author’s mission continues to be to provide guidance on how to quickly recognize and diagnose congenital fetal anomalies, beginning at the beginning with ultrasound sigh all the way through to final diagnosis.

Early Pregnancy Ultrasound is a comprehensive and hands-on practical guide that is essential for all health professionals working in the field of early pregnancy. It is highly illustrated with ultrasound images of normal and abnormal pregnancies. It demonstrates how ultrasound can be used to identify and manage complications in early pregnancy. As well as sample ultrasound scan images, the text includes annotated schematic diagrams, tables, flow diagrams, and lists of key learning points, making it an easily accessible learning tool. Early Pregnancy Ultrasound is a key resource for obstetricians, gynaecologists, midwives, nurses and sonographers. It is also an essential text for medical trainees undertaking the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) Advanced Training Module in Early Pregnancy, or any trainee interested in early pregnancy.

Recent advances in ultrasound technology have dramatically advanced prenatal care, and its use is now standard. Medical professionals today can accurately detect fetal structural irregularities, and as a result, provide higher quality prenatal and postnatal patient care.This well-referenced teaching atlas is a comprehensive and practical overview of fetal ultrasound technology, providing up-to-date diagnosis and examination guidelines for the most clinically important anomalies and diseases. Incorporating an impressive collection of sonographic images and plates, the book provides an invaluable visual aid in recognizing even the most difficult-to-interpret ultrasound findings.Key features:- Nearly 500 high-quality sonograms and images that illustrate frequent and rare fetal irregularities, including pathophysiologic disorders- Tips for: avoiding common image misinterpretations; scanning techniques; and optimal times for ultrasound examinations- Special chapters on chromosomal disorders and their soft markers, post-infectious malformations, and multiple pregnancies- Unique design that allows quick and easy access to information- Useful data and advice for concerned parents, including Internet resources and support groupsNo professional can afford to be without this up-to-date information. Incorporating the graphic strength of an atlas with the educational utility of a textbook, ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSIS OF FETAL ANOMALIES is essential for helping specialists to reliably identify prenatal irregularities and disease for the best results.
