Publisher's Synopsis
Commended!
British Medical Association Medical Book Awards 2000!
Fetal anomalies are generally diagnosed through the interpretation of radiological images, either by the radiologist, obstetrician or gynaecologist. Decisions regarding the termination of pregnancy are made by the consultant based upon the correct interpretation of these images. In cases of difficulty, the clinician willneed to refer to a source of illustrative material and interpretative text in order to make the right decision.
The book is a highly illustrated text covering the diagnostic imaging of fetal abnormalities. It takes a practical approach to the subject, taking the reader step by step through the problems involved and guiding them to the correct diagnosis. Written by experts in the field, Textbook of Fetal Abnormalitiesprovides the most current, up-to-date information on antenatal diagnosis.
The book is not a textbook of fetal medicine, concentrating as it does on the radiological diagnosis of abnormalities.
