Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology : Textbook and Atlas/ Volume 1 - Obstetrics

This textbook and atlas provides an excellent survey of this now very wide
field. In this text detailed sonographic presentations of normal findings are
followed in each case by the corresponding pathological findings, using the
most recent images available. To make learning easier, most of the ultrasound
images are compared with intraoperative, postoperative, or postpartum
photographs of clinical and pathological conditions. Transvaginal sonography
which is growing in importance alongside abdominal photography, is also given
broad consideration. Numerous statistical graphs and tables, and an extensive
list of references, round off this work.
