Fetal Radiology : A Diagnostic Atlas (Hardcover)

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.
