Main description:

This atlas is a practical guide to the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of foetal anomalies.

The second edition has been fully revised and new topics added, to provide clinicians with the latest advances in the field.

Beginning with an overview of ultrasound and foetal anomalies, each of the following sections covers a different type of foetal disorder, from the most common to the most serious, including face malformations, skeletal dysplasias, congenital heart and lung conditions, brain structure and central nervous system anomalies, and many more.

The text draws on the experience of internationally recognised experts in the field, led by renowned editors from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Japan, and the USA.

A multitude of foetal ultrasound images and figures further enhance this comprehensive guide.

The previous edition (9788180619199) published in 2007.
