Gynecological Ultrasound Scanning

An illustrated step-by-step guide to gaining expertize in gynaecological ultrasound.

A highly illustrated, user-friendly, practical introduction to gynaecological ultrasound.

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 book provides a detailed guide to the use and interpretation of color Doppler ultrasound, CT, and MR imaging in patients with gynecological disorders. The advantages and limitations of each modality in imaging different pathologies are clearly presented, and advice is provided on the most appropriate option when ultrasound does not permit a definite diagnosis or fails to determine the precise extension of a lesion. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the importance of microscopic and macroscopic findings for a full understanding of the radiological appearances, and relevant points from the basic sciences are also highlighted. Special attention is paid to issues of differential diagnosis and imaging results that are characteristic of a particular type of lesion. The authors are recognized experts in the field who draw upon their considerable experience to provide an up-to-date reference book highly relevant to everyday clinical practice.

This book is a comprehensive guide to ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology. Beginning with an introduction to equipment, the next chapters discuss the basic principles of ultrasound and its use in the different trimesters of pregnancy. The following chapters explain the importance of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool describing its use for placenta evaluation, amniotic fluid assessment, measuring cervical length and in multiple pregnancy. The final chapters cover ultrasound-guided foetal invasive procedures, Doppler, 3D ultrasound, and ultrasound in reproductive medicine. This practical guide is further enhanced by more than 350 ultrasound images, diagrams and tables to assist learning.

This practical guide covers all aspects of gynaecological ultrasound, focusing on good technique, the ultrasound machine and reporting. Written by experts with a strong reputation for training in the field, this book takes a 'tips and tricks' approach. Chapters cover topics such as equipment familiarization, principles of transvaginal ultrasound, the awkward uterus, the difficult ovary, and ART-related procedures. The authors discuss the use of both basic ultrasound and 3D machines, and provide tips on how to optimize the image and gain useful clinical information even in the most challenging of assessments. With a multitude of images included to train the eye to identify normal anatomy and common pathologies, chapter summary boxes and case-based examples also provide an easy reference for assessing conditions and lesions. This book will greatly improve the scanning technique of trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology, sonographers, reproductive medicine practitioners, and gynaecologists of any level.

This atlas and guide book is focused on gynecological ultrasound, an area that has remained in the shadow of obstetric ultrasound & fetal medicine. Gynecological ultrasound has seen rapid advances owing to expanding research and improved ultrasound equipment. This book leverages these advances and provides abundant illustrations and practice points of classical and new ultrasound features. It serves as a guide for radiologists, gynecologists and sonologists for the accurate diagnosis of gynecological pathologies. The chapters of this book also serve as a comprehensive resource for various topics with hundreds of images and figures, including basic gray scale images, Doppler studies and three dimensional ultrasound illustrations. In addition, standard terms for the evaluation and reporting of gynecological pathologies are discussed. Emergencies like ovarian torsion, complex adnexal cyst are also covered.
