Expert Differential Diagnoses will guide radiologists toward logical, on-target differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical information.

Obstetrics presents the most useful differential diagnoses in obstetrics, grouped into sections on:

• first trimester
• fetal anatomic abnormalities
• multiple gestations
• placenta/membranes
• umbilical cord
• amniotic fluid
• fetal growth and well-being
• uterus-cervix
• maternal conditions in pregnancy
• postpartum complications

Each differential diagnosis includes:

• at least eight clear, sharp, succinctly annotated images
• a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but important
• brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues

The companion online Amirsys e-Book Advantage provides additional annotated images.
