An Atlas Of Three And Four Dimensional Sonography In Obstetrics And Gynecology

The use of three-dimensional ultrasound has expanded, particularly in obstetrics and gynecology clinical practice, necessitating a reference covering this and other emerging technologies. This volume presents ultrasound images in full colour accompanied by extensive captions and expert textual commentary. It provides authoritative coverage of this important technology that can help diagnose a host of conditions that heretofore would go unseen or require invasive surgery to diagnose.

As the use of three-dimensional ultrasound in clinical practice increases, the need for a reference covering this and other emerging technologies also increases. The book presents three-dimensional ultrasound images in full colour accompanied by extensive captions and expert textual commentary. It provides authoritative coverage of the latest developments in three-dimensional ultrasound for use in obstetrics and gynecology and highlights cutting-edge technologies such as four-dimensional ultrasound.

Fully revised fourth edition presenting latest information on ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology. Includes many new topics and nearly 2000 images and illustrations. Authored by experts from Croatia and the USA. Previous ediiton published in 2011.

Advanced Topics on Three-Dimensional Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology is a comprehensive and handy guide for sonographers, obstetricians, gynecology and radiology professionals, and all technicians working in ultrasound laboratories who are interested in taking advantage of all the resources provided by this imaging technique. The book is divided in three sections which give information on a variety of relevant topics: • Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Instrumentation and Technology. This section explains different ultrasound methods that can be used for three-dimensional imaging. It is complemented by a discussion on how to use the techniques in telemedicine. • The Use of Three-Dimensional Ultrasound During Pregnancy. This section explains the methods used to assess fetal organs, behavior and defects during different stages of pregnancy. • ‎The Use of Three-Dimensional Ultrasound When Evaluating Female Reproductive Physiology. This section covers diagnostic procedures for ovarian and uterine abnormalities and neoplasms. Close

Ultrasound is the backbone of modern obstetric and gynecology practice. Recent technological breakthroughs in diagnostic ultrasound, including the advent of color Doppler, power Doppler, three-dimensional and four dimensional imaging, have led ultrasound to surpass the expectations of Ian Donald, its visionary father. The text is divided into three parts general aspects, obstetrics, and gynecology. The first and second textbooks were successful in this endeavor, but with the explosion of knowledge, it was clear that an expanded and updated third edition would be invaluable. Section one deals with a variety of topics that lay the foundation for the rest of the book. Section two addresses the myriad subtopics in obstetric ultrasound that optimize the care of pregnant women and fetal patients. The last section addresses the essential role that ultrasound plays in the many dimensions of clinical gynecology.

This four-color atlas, with accompanying CD-ROM, depicts key elements of sonography, including its dynamic real-time aspect. Intended to complement existing textbooks in the field, the atlas serves as a tutorial for the use of ultrasound in both normal and abnormal OB/GYN imaging. The CD-ROM offers realtime video, interventional procedures, a complete review of OB/GYN, and more. The book can be used as a clinical reference, while users can go to the CD-ROM to see how procedures are performed and how scans appear in actual, day-to-day practice.

This video atlas consists of two DVDs providing step by step instruction on eleven learning modules for clinical skills in obstetrics and gynaecology. Videos cover the most common clinical presentations and cover topics such as menstrual cycle, menopause, pelvic floor abnormalities and pregnancy loss and complications. Each learning module contains audio visual lectures and videos of interviewing skills illustrate how to perform a focused history and physical examination and write up the findings. The video atlas includes printable flashcards on clinical decision making and therapeutic options, with organised diagnostic and management algorithms to assist learning of important symptoms, laboratory tests, imaging findings and treatment regimes.
