Updated to reflect the recent advances in this fastchanging field, this highly illustrated text examines the latest imaging modalities for prenatal diagnosis of foetal abnormalities. A team of leading authorities provides practical, step-by-step guidance on everything from detection and interpretation... to successful management approaches. Algorithms and management strategies throughout not only describe the features of abnormalities, but also show you how to arrive at a correct diagnosis through the use of colour Doppler, 3-D ultrasound, and fetal MR. This second edition offers the essential practice-proven guidance you need to arrive at confident diagnoses
in critical situations. It’s a resource you’ll turn to time and again! It uses a reader-friendly format to facilitate quick access to specific information.
