An Atlas of Three- and Four-Dimensional Sonography in Obstetrics and Gynecology

The correct and effective use of three-dimensional equipment has a difficult learning curve. Techniques are rapidly changing and today's gold standard can quickly become yesterday's news. Keeping up to date has become increasingly difficult. Edited by acknowledged leaders in the field, with contributions from international experts, An Atlas of Three- and Four-Dimensional Sonography in Obstetrics and Gynecology introduces 4D and presents new aspects of 3D ultrasound.Containing quality images and technical pearls, the book presents three-dimensional ultrasound images in full color accompanied by extensive captions and expert commentary. Describing 3D and 4D ultrasound technique and their applications, the book illustrates the most delicate fields of gynecology and obstetrics-human reproduction, evaluation of adnexal masses, early pregnancy, fetal malformations and prenatal development, fetal echocardiography, and the prenatal and neonatal brain.Once considered theoretical, the advantages of three-dimensional ultrasound have become a clinical reality. As its use has expanded, the need for an up-to-date, authoritative reference covering it and other emerging technologies has become more urgent. Providing up-to-date coverage of the latest developments and emerging techniques, this book is the authoritative reference desperately needed in a field that is, more often than not, a blend of art, science, tradition, and technology.
