Diagnostic Imaging of Fetal Anomalies guides readers through the use of ultrasound to detect and identify birth defects--including:
- heart malformations
- kidney obstructions
- intestinal blockages
- lung abnormalities
- and more
The book offers up-to-date advice on what to look for, given a certain risk or clinical history, and how to perform and interpret the ultrasound examination.
More than 1,600 images--including full-colour throughout--provide a true-to-life view of ultrasound findings. Each anomaly is discussed in an easy-to-follow format that covers:
- characteristic features
- pathogenesis and etiology
- differential diagnosis
- prognosis and management
This edition includes brief tables of teratogens and information on genetic markers.
