Step by step video atlas on ultrasound in foetal anomalies and pelvic masses, with 2D, 3D and 4D ultrasound images.

Donald School Video Atlas of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology is a compilation of high quality images presented by obstetricians and gynaecologists from leading international medical institutions.

Ultrasound is one of the greatest breakthroughs of the past 50 years in obstetrics. This atlas presents current information on obstetric and gynaecologic ultrasound. It guides the reader through the most recent ultrasound technologies, enabling them to diagnose problems accurately. It provides updated information on the most recent advances including 3-D ultrasound scanners. The book also includes valuable details on anatomy, embryology, congenital anomalies, diagnostic imaging techniques. renal and genito-urinary diseases and trauma.

This atlas is a practical guide to the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of foetal anomalies. The second edition has been fully revised and new topics added, to provide clinicians with the latest advances in the field. Beginning with an overview of ultrasound and foetal anomalies, each of the following sections covers a different type of foetal disorder, from the most common to the most serious, including face malformations, skeletal dysplasias, congenital heart and lung conditions, brain structure and central nervous system anomalies, and many more. The text draws on the experience of internationally recognised experts in the field, led by renowned editors from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Japan, and the USA. A multitude of foetal ultrasound images and figures further enhance this comprehensive guide. The previous edition (9788180619199) published in 2007.

Gain a complete understanding of the use of ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis of fetal anomalies The Atlas of Fetal Anomalies is a comprehensive reference for the diagnosis of fetal anomalies by using ultrasound imaging, including 4D ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound. Richly illustrated, superbly organized, and featuring clear, current guidelines from distinguished practitioners, it's the perfect all-inclusive, one-stop resource for quickly referencing an anomaly or imaging procedure. Features: Contributions from the world's leaders in the field, including directors of the Ian Donald Inter-University School of Ultrasound Comprehensive system-by-system coverage of all major fetal anomalies, including central nervous system malformations; normal/abnormal fetal face and neck; fetal echocardiography-diagnosed congenital cardiac problems; anomalies of the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and abdominal wall; urological tract diseases; and skeletal dysplasia 400 crystal-clear, diagnosis-aiding illustrations, including full-color photographs and other images Easily-understood explanations of the latest innovations and techniques, including 4D ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound Coverage of ultrasound discovery and management of multiple pregnancy, conjoined fetuses, uterine anomalies, and prenatal infections

Doody Rating: 3 stars: Over the last decade impressive improvements in computer and ultrasound technology have promoted a wide use of ultrasound in clinical practice. With the advent of color and power Doppler ultrasound, and more recently three- (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound, research expansion in the field of human reproduction, obstetrics and gynecologic oncology has occurred. Ultrasound has simplified guided techniques such as oocyte collection and breast biopsy, but has also become an important technique in the assessment of the follicular growth and endometrial development, as well as in evaluation of the uterine and ovarian perfusion. Significant studies have been made in the gynecological application of Doppler sonography and screening for ovarian and uterine malignancy. In obstetrics, Doppler sonography has allowed unprecedented insight in the pathophysiology of human fetal development. In a relatively short period of time, 3D and 4D ultrasound has proved to be a useful clinical tool in almost all sections of gynecology and obstetrics. In this book the authors explain the significance of each of the discussed subjects in an effective way, by integrating important and updated information and illustrative examples. The contributors of this edition have made significant improvements, included updated information and a few unique illustrations. Each chapter has been reviewed and revised to focus on the clinicians needs in ultrasound practice. The educational impact of the book is further enhanced by adding a manual for sonographers and physicians entitled Clinical Sonographic Pearls that was created for better organization of important clinical presentation-based information."
