In Utero Diagnosis Of Skeletal Disorders An Atlas Of Prenatal Sonographic And Postnatal Radiologic Correlation

In Utero Diagnosis of Skeletal Disorders is a unique compendium of current information and 350 original ultrasound images covering the physiology and pathophysiology of osteogenesis. Syndromes are presented schematically and describe the mode of inheritance, definition and morphology, sonographic and radiologic manifestations, and associated malformations. The book is an excellent reference for obstetricians, sonographers, radiologists, and anyone dealing with the early detection of fetal malformations.

Skeletal dysplasias are rare, they may be genetic, sporadic or environmentally determined conditions, affecting bone and cartilage growth and development. The genetic mutations continue to exert their influence throughout the life of the affected individual. This unique, full colour atlas features 132 conditions with 2300 images of over 500 patients. It brings together the wide-ranging clinical disciplines involved in pre and postnatal care and diagnosis and presents perinatal images of rare skeletal disorders to include skeletal dysplasias and malformation syndromes on a case-by-case basis. It presents the most up-to-date information on the individual conditions to include the mode of inheritance (autosomal dominant or recessive, or non-genetic), the Mendelian Inheritance in Man number (MIM) for further reference reading, the locus (the chromosome number and position on the affected chromosome), the mutated gene and the affected protein. Each condition has a brief summary including synonyms, incidence, genetics, age at presentation, clinical, prenatal ultrasound and postnatal radiological features, bone histology, prognosis and differential diagnosis. Images are presented with each case illustrating different imaging modalities and with gross and/or histopathology findings. Brief clinical findings are also given where available. It is of great value to all clinicians and technicians working in fetal medicine and neonatal care. It greatly assists in diagnostic accuracy and provides clinicians and affected families with the information needed to make informed management decisions.

This atlas is intended to give obstetricians, paediatricians, neonatologists, radiologists, molecular and clinical geneticists and anatomo-pathologists, a thorough insight into conditions (and variants) of skeletal dysplasias. Clinical and imaging findings are properly illustrated, enriched by updated genetic information. This acclaimed text returns in a revised form, with updated material, particularly on the new knowledge surrounding the genetic basis and mechanism for the various skeletal dysplasias. No clinician dealing with fetal or neonatal skeletal diagnosis or treatment will want to be without access to the wealth of illustrations and detail condensed here. Presents a clear and consistent rubric for approaching approximately 150 types of skeletal dysplasias Meets the needs of clinical gynaecologists, obstetricians, paediatricians, radiologists and geneticists Offers an essential, concise resource for the diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias which present prenatally and perinatally

Intrinsic errors of skeletal development are individually rare but of clinical importance because of their overall frequency and their impact on a patient's life. Sonography has become a routine component of prenatal care, and many of these disorders are diagnosed prenatally. Postnatally, the prenatal diagnosis has to be verified. To this end, fetal radiography is an effective, simple and economic way to establish a diagnosis or to narrow the number of diagnostic possibilities sufficiently to enable pathological, biochemical or molecular studies to be used in the quest for a specific diagnosis. Equally important, a correct diagnosis is required for correct prognostication and parental counseling. This book has been written to assist in the postnatal diagnosis of fetal errors of skeletal development.

First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.

Spanning a wide range of medical specialties and practice settings, Diagnostic Ultrasound, 6th Edition, provides complete, detailed information on the latest techniques for ultrasound imaging of the whole body; image-guided procedures; fetal, obstetric, and pediatric imaging; and much more. This thoroughly revised, two-volume set, edited by Drs. Carol M. Rumack and Deborah Levine, remains the most comprehensive and authoritative ultrasound resource available. Up-to-date guidance from experts in the field keep you abreast of expanding applications of this versatile imaging modality and help you understand the "how" and "why" of ultrasound use and interpretation. Covers all aspects of diagnostic ultrasound with sections for Physics; Abdominal, Pelvic, Small Parts, Vascular, Obstetric, and Pediatric Sonography. Contains 5,000 images throughout, including 2D and 3D imaging as well as the use of contrast agents and elastography. Includes a new section on setting up a contrast lab for clinical practice and a new chapter on hemodialysis. Features new coverage of the parotid, salivary, and submandibular glands, as well as the retroperitoneum, which now includes a section on endoleaks with ultrasound contrast. Uses a straightforward writing style and extensive image panels with correlative findings. Includes 400 video clips showing real-time scanning of anatomy and pathology.
