Fetal Heart Ultrasound-2판

Fetal Heart Ultrasound, now in its second edition, has been written as a practical guide for the ultrasound examination
of the fetal heart. The fetal heart is considered to be the most important and difficult part of a fetal examination.
This book aims not only to clarify and simplify the approach to this examination, but also to define what a normal
fetal heart should be, and underline just why this organ remains one of the best warning signs for fetal pathology. It
will be useful to trainee and practicing ultrasonographers, ultrasound departments providing obstetric ultrasound
services, and obstetricians, gynecologists, radiologists and midwives undertaking course in fetal ultrasonography.

"Fetal Heart Ultrasound. How, Why and When ... could represent a supplement to other literature in the field,
