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.
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 fourth edition provides clinicians with the latest information on the role of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology. Divided into three sections, the book begins with an introduction to the use of ultrasound, followed by its application in both pregnant women and in the diagnosis of gynaecological disorders. The new edition has been fully revised and includes new chapters on fallopian tube ultrasound, HD live Silhouette and HD live Flow, 3D ultrasound in prenatal diagnosis, foetal face, and 4D ultrasound. A complete section on Foetal Therapy has also been added covering stem cell and gene therapy, ultrasound guided interventions, and open foetal surgery. Authored by recognised experts from Croatia and the USA, this comprehensive manual is enhanced by nearly 2000 ultrasound images, illustrations and tables. Key points Fully revised, fourth edition presenting latest information on ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology Includes many new topics Authored by recognised experts from Croatia and the USA Previous edition (9789350252598) 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.
Three dimensional (3D) and Real Time three dimensional (4D) ultrasound has changed the way scans are carried out. Such ultrasound techniques have now become acceptable as valuable methods of diagnosis. 3D and 4D ultrasound can nowadays be applied to the examination of all internal body organs. Originally developed in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, ultrasound diagnosis is now common place throughout internal medicine. This book is the first to deal with Real Time 4D ultrasound, and discusses its usage when applied to all internal organs. This book is written by two internationally renowned practitioners of state of the art 3D and 4D ultrasound techniques.
Doody Rating: 3 stars: Over the last decade impressive improvements in computer and ultrasound technology have promoted a wide use of ultrasound in clinical practice. With the advent of color and power Doppler ultrasound, and more recently three- (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound, research expansion in the field of human reproduction, obstetrics and gynecologic oncology has occurred. Ultrasound has simplified guided techniques such as oocyte collection and breast biopsy, but has also become an important technique in the assessment of the follicular growth and endometrial development, as well as in evaluation of the uterine and ovarian perfusion. Significant studies have been made in the gynecological application of Doppler sonography and screening for ovarian and uterine malignancy. In obstetrics, Doppler sonography has allowed unprecedented insight in the pathophysiology of human fetal development. In a relatively short period of time, 3D and 4D ultrasound has proved to be a useful clinical tool in almost all sections of gynecology and obstetrics. In this book the authors explain the significance of each of the discussed subjects in an effective way, by integrating important and updated information and illustrative examples. The contributors of this edition have made significant improvements, included updated information and a few unique illustrations. Each chapter has been reviewed and revised to focus on the clinicians needs in ultrasound practice. The educational impact of the book is further enhanced by adding a manual for sonographers and physicians entitled Clinical Sonographic Pearls that was created for better organization of important clinical presentation-based information."
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.
