3D Ultrasound in Prenatal Diagnosis


Book Description

Initially known for its beautiful images of the faces of babies, 3D ultrasound has, however, become an important tool in prenatal diagnosis for its ability to image fetal organs in normal and abnormal conditions. This book is a state-of-the-art work conceived as a practical guide to the application of 3D ultrasound in obstetrics. The authors of this book have extensive expertise in 3D ultrasound that spans for more than 25 years. The book has three sections: one section on the technical principles of 3D ultrasound, a second section on various 3D rendering tools with a step-by-step explanation of its use. The third section is dedicated to the clinical use of 3D in the examination of the fetal organs. In this 2nd edition, the entire book has been revised and actualized.

Step by Step: 3D/4D Ultrasound in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility


Book Description

3D ultrasound shows a still image of a foetus, far more detailed than the 2D flat grey scale imaging. 4D ultrasound is more advanced, showing a moving image, allowing obstetricians to evaluate foetal well-being. It is also used by gynaecologists to examine uterine anomalies. The second edition of this book is a step by step guide to 3D and 4D ultrasound in obstetrics, gynaecology and infertility. Divided into seven sections, it begins with discussion on instruments and scanning techniques, and normal pelvic anatomy by ultrasound. The following chapters examine uterine lesions and the use of ultrasound for infertility evaluation. The final sections discuss 3D/4D ultrasound in early pregnancy and foetal anatomy and malformations in mid and late pregnancy. This concise handbook has been fully updated to include the latest developments in 3D/4D ultrasound, and includes nearly 220 detailed photographs and ultrasound images. Key points Fully updated, new edition presenting latest developments in 3D and 4D ultrasound in obstetrics, gynaecology and infertility Describes normal pelvic anatomy to help recognition of anomalies and malformations Includes numerous clinical photographs and ultrasound images Previous edition published in 2008




3D & 4D Ultrasound


Book Description

Three dimensional (3D) and Real Time three dimensional (4D) ultrasound has changed the way scans are carried out. Such ultrasound techniques have now become acceptable as valuable methods of diagnosis. 3D and 4D ultrasound can nowadays be applied to the examination of all internal body organs. Originally developed in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, ultrasound diagnosis is now common place throughout internal medicine. This book is the first to deal with Real Time 4D ultrasound, and discusses its usage when applied to all internal organs. This book is written by two internationally renowned practitioners of state of the art 3D and 4D ultrasound techniques.
