Diagnostic Imaging: Obstetrics - E-Book
Obstetric and fetal imaging is a continuously evolving field, with ongoing advances in both technology and understanding of fetal development and disease processes. Diagnostic Imaging: Obstetrics, fifth edition covers the entire spectrum of this fast-changing field and is an invaluable resource for radiologists, perinatologists, and trainees―anyone who requires an easily accessible, highly visual reference on today's obstetric imaging. Dr. Paula J. Woodward and a team of highly regarded experts provide a highly structured, information-dense, bulleted style of information delivery that yields more 'pearls per pound' than a standard prose-style textbook. With contents organized by organ system, the bulleted text delivery includes Section Introductions throughout to orient readers. Embryology and anatomy overview chapters are included along with pertinent differential diagnoses to provide comprehensive coverage throughout. In addition, extensive image galleries (3,000 images in print plus 1700 digital-only images) provide the radiologist with a pragmatic approach to imaging findings. Sixteen content sections deliver almost 1,200 pages of valuable contents designed to help determine the best imaging study and interpret imaging studies to establish diagnoses as part of ongoing patient care• Serves as a one-stop resource for key concepts and information on obstetric imaging using bulleted, succinct text and highly templated chapters for quick comprehension of essential information at the point of care • Includes 175 ultrasound video clips • Covers dramatic new changes in technology, including recent innovations in 3D ultrasound and fetal MRI, as well as the earliest ultrasound findings seen with each condition due to improved ultrasound technology • Reflects a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach to diagnosis, management, and treatment between radiologists, perinatologists, pediatricians, and surgeons • Includes embryology and anatomy overview chapters, along with pertinent differential diagnoses for comprehensive coverage• The 5th ed includes emphasis on fetal Intervention, an emerging, new, and cutting edge, area of practice. Individual chapters have significant updates in treatment sections including shunt placements for pleural effusions and bladder outlet obstructions. New chapters address laser procedures for twin complications and fetoscopic surgery for neural tube defects and masses • Major advancements have come to light since 4th ed published in June 2021 on the understanding of genetic basis of disease. This has significantly impacted the diagnosis and management of maternal/fetal issues. It is no longer a basic chromosome analysis, but now more detailed diagnoses can be made with microarray, whole exome, and whole genome analysis • There is a new emphasis from all the fetal imaging societies (SRU, SMFM, ACOG, ISUOG, NAFTNet) to standardize practice guidelines across the various organizations. These standards are defined and implemented across multiple sections of the book
