Featuring more than 650 color illustrations, this definitive volume provides comprehensive and expert coverage on the practical applications of ultrasound. The text is divided into three parts: general aspects, obstetrics, and gynecology. It includes recent technological breakthroughs in diagnostic ultrasound, including the advent of color Doppler, power Doppler, and three-dimensional and four-dimensional imaging. All contributors are either present or former teachers at the 8 branches of the Ian Donald school. A comprehensive text with state-of-the-art images, the book is of value to obstetricians, gynecologist, and medical ultrasonographers.

Many advances have been made in the field of obstetrical ultrasound in the last few years. Comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date, Textbook on Fetal Ultrasound incorporates this new knowledge and takes a prospective view on new developments for all those working in the field of fetal ultrasound. It draws on the vast clinical experience of a multidisciplinary group of authors who are internationally recognized authorities.This textbook will be a useful resource not only to all those involved in fetal ultrasound, but also to those providing genetic counseling. It will aid physicians to more easily identify structural malformations in the fetus, or other common obstetrical problems, take the correct diagnostic approaches, make accurate differential diagnoses, and implement the most appropriate procedures in the management of these pregnancies.

This is the premiere clinical textbook on neonatal ultrasound diagnosis. Profusely illustrated, including Doppler sonographs in color, it contains eleven original new chapters by prominent clinician-teachers from America s foremost medical schools and teaching hospitals. The entire text focuses on definitive, clinically relevant, how-to information on normal neonatal head ultrasound, congenital malformations of the brain, sonography in periventricular leukomalacia and intraventricular hemorrhage, ultrasound of the neonatal gastrointestinal tract, sonographic evaluation of the neonatal biliary system, the neonatal adrenal gland, kidney abnormalities including embryogenesis and imaging appearance, neonatal hydronephrosis, sonography of the neonatal ovary, developmental displacement of the neonatal hip, and sonography of the neonatal spinal canal.

This text is a review of abdominal ultrasound for radiologists and sonographers by experts in the field. The book contains information on endoluminal 3-D and contrast agents, artifacts in ultrasound, and Doppler and basic physics of ultrasound.

This textbook is a user-friendly guide to real-time ultrasound of abdominal organs. It provides the reader with a thorough understanding of scanning techniques, normal anatomy, ultrasound appearances, pathologic findings, and common problems in interpreting images. The book contains more than 300 scans with detailed legends explaining pathologic findings and arrows pointing out diagnostically significant features of each image. The first two chapters discuss the capabilities and limitations of real-time ultrasound, the instrumentation and techniques, and the basic principles of interpretation. Subsequent chapters focus on specific abdominal organs. Also included is a chapter on endoscopic sonography of gastrointestinal disorders

A market leader and a highly respected reference, this text explains how diagnostic ultrasound works and helps readers scan safely, properly handle artifacts, evaluate instrument performance, and prepare for registry and board examinations. It covers all essential aspects of ultrasound physics, including Doppler, artifacts, safety, quality assurance, and the newest technologies. Information is presented dynamically, with a multitude of boxes and tables and over 1,300 illustrations. Focusing on the most basic and essential equations, this book simplifies complicated mathematical concepts. * Coverage of the basics of physics and ultrasound provides students with what they need to know to pass the registry exam. * Learning Objectives and Key Terms begin each chapter, and subheadings have been added to break up the chapters into more accessible sections. * 40-page color insert includes more than 100 ultrasound scans, providing an accurate representation of what students will actually encounter in the clinical setting.

Ultrasound is the backbone of modern obstetric and gynecology practice. Recent advances and technological break through in diagnostic ultrasound, including the color Doppler, power Doppler, 3D and 4D imaging have led ultrasound to surpass the expectations of Sir Ian Donald, its visionary father. Elaborates about application of ultrasound for sonographic assessment of the umbilical cord, fetal anatomy, abnormalities, etc. Gives high quality ultrasound images of the fetus, gynecology and infertility.
