Publisher's Synopsis
In recent years, there have been dramatic technical advances in diagnostic ultrasound. The advent of colour Doppler, power Doppler, and more recently 3D and 4D imaging has provided medical professionals with a whole new insight in the disciplines of obstetrics and gynaecology. This atlas is the most up to date reference work available, providing comprehensive coverage of the recent advances in diagnostic ultrasound. The book is divided into 2 sections, starting with a description of normal foetal development and anatomy. Detailed illustrations document foetal anomalies, which can now be detected before birth. Other aspects of obstetric ultrasound are also illustrated, including abnormal, multiple gestation, and the placenta. The latest breakthroughs in 3D and 4D ultrasound, foetal behaviour and power Doppler are also elucidated in great detail. With over 1,000 clear colour images revealing the latest developments in diagnostic ultrasound, this important atlas will be an invaluable reference text for all obstetricians, gynaecologists and ultra sonographers.
