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.
Color Doppler, power Doppler, three-dimensional and four-dimensional imaging are just a few of the breakthroughs that have moved diagnostic ultrasound forward. Featuring more than 650 color illustrations, Donald School Textbook of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology provides expert coverage of the practical applications of ultrasound. The text is divided into three parts: general aspects, obstetrics, and gynecology. Subjects covered include prenatal diagnosis and therapy of congenital fetal abnormalities, ultrasonic-guided puncture techniques, ultrasound in the management of female infertility, and more. With contributions from an international panel of experts, this comprehensive text presents state-of-the-art images and up-to-date information.
This book is a comprehensive guide to transvaginal sonography for practitioners. Divided into five sections, the text begins with discussion on general aspects of ultrasonography and transvaginal scanning. The following sections cover the use of ultrasonography in a variety if gynaecological and obstetrical circumstances. The final sections cover Doppler sonography and 3D and 4D transvaginal sonography. The third edition has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest advances in their field. Authored by an internationally recognised team of experts led by Zagreb-based Asim Kurjak and Madrid-based José Bajo Arenas, the text is further enhanced by nearly 700 ultrasound images, photographs, diagrams and tables. Key points Fully revised, third edition presenting latest advances in transvaginal sonography Highly illustrated with nearly 700 ultrasound images, photographs, diagrams and tables Internationally recognised editor and author team Previous edition (9789350904732) published in 2013
Ultrasound is one of the greatest breakthroughs of the past 50 years in obstetrics. This atlas presents current information on obstetric and gynaecologic ultrasound. It guides the reader through the most recent ultrasound technologies, enabling them to diagnose problems accurately. It provides updated information on the most recent advances including 3-D ultrasound scanners. The book also includes valuable details on anatomy, embryology, congenital anomalies, diagnostic imaging techniques. renal and genito-urinary diseases and trauma.
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.

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."
Now in an updated edition, this is the most comprehensive book on modern ultrasound imaging in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and reproductive medicine. Fully revised and expanded, it covers emerging technologies possible with the improvement in ultrasound equipment. 3-D monitoring of ovarian follicles, bidirectional vibrant color and Doppler, and improved 3-D and 4-D imaging of reproductive structures are discussed. MRI-guided ultrasound procedures are covered, and comparisons of 3-D imaging with MRI imaging for uterine anomalies is reviewed with an emphasis on the advantages of 3-D performed in the gynecologist’s office, and as a less expensive modality. The overall approach of the original edition is maintained, starting with ultrasound safety and technique and diagnosis of the ovary, uterus and fallopian tubes (both normal and pathologic), followed by both male and female infertility and ART treatments and procedures. Ultrasound monitoring of follicular development, the endometrium, and as an aid in embryo transfer to maximize IVF success rates are reviewed. Topics new to this edition include updated information on the diagnosis of benign and malignant adnexal masses, 3-D follicle monitoring, and the diagnosis of adenomyosis and endometriosis, including deep inseminated endometriosis. Additionally, the evaluation of endometrial receptivity, the use of contrasts for fallopian tube patency, controversies regarding septate uterus versus arcurate uterus with the use of 3-D ultrasound, and 3-D ultrasound with saline infusion sonogram and early pregnancy ultrasound are all discussed. An excellent resource for reproductive medicine and ART specialists, gynecologists and ultrasonographers alike, Ultrasound Imaging in Reproductive Medicine, Second Edition covers all that clinicians need to know about the role of ultrasound, from the first time a woman comes into the clinic for treatment, including ART, to early pregnancy monitoring. See better, do ART better.
