Obstetric and Gynecological Ultrasound: How Why and When 4/e

Obstetric and Gynaecological Ultrasound is a highly illustrated manual ideal for both the trainee and experienced
sonographer that covers the full range of obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound examinations undertaken within a
secondary referral setting. It combines the practicalities of how to perform these examinations with the information
needed to interpret the findings and construct a clinically useful report.

The new edition of this well-established book expands its scope to provide an understanding of ultrasound imaging
within the clinical management of the gynaecological patient. Elsewhere, its obstetric content has been fully updated
with the latest technological, clinical and medico-legal information relevant to routine practice. Furthermore, its
experienced sonographer authors continue to advise on the practical aspects of scanning as well as the role, value and
limitations of ultrasound in the diagnosis of different diseases thus providing firm foundations in both obstetric and
gynaecological imaging.
