Ecografia ostetrico ginecologica

This book is a detailed, accessible and comprehensive reference manual reflecting current guidance & citing recent peer-reviewed evidence. It is written by and for radiographers. Through text and diagrams the fundamental skills and techniques for acquisition of high quality diagnostic images are explained and demonstrated; high quality ultrasound images throughout underpin instruction on accurate image interpretation and diagnosis. Inclusion of unusual and rare appearances allow the reader to avoid common pitfalls and resolve diagnostic dilemmas. The inclusion of clinical and pathological information gives the book an holistic outlook and wider appeal to those not specifically interested in practical instruction. The author has expertise and current experience in clinical practice and educational delivery and focuses on application of theory to practice giving step-by-step practical guidance with clear, concise and structured content. Ultrasound & mammography practitioners in training can use this book to underpin practical and theoretical instruction to achieve success on formal education programmes; practising medical and non-medical health care professionals continue to refer to a departmental shelf copy as an authoritative reference text to inform and improve the quality of their everyday clinical practice and service to patients.

This is the only book of its kind in prenatal diagnosis that details the most common sonographically detectable fetal syndromes. It has an easy-to-follow approach of using lists and patterns of malformations to generate a differential diagnosis of the possible syndrome involved. The reader is then led to the more detailed description of each syndrome to determine the exact final diagnosis. The new edition incorporates 3D ultrasound throughout the book, as well as 20 syndromes not previously covered.

This book contains a series of clinical cases that address and illustrate difficult problems in obstetric ultrasound. The approach is strongly didactic and will aid trainees in maternal-fetal medicine and obstetrics to appreciate potential pitfalls and recognize rare presentations. Each case sets oout one page of text, then one of treatment algorithms, and then presents sample ultrasound scans. Learning objectives are given for each case, together with a short list of references and background reading. Covering the vast majority of common problems encountered in obstetric ultrasound, this well illustrated handbook is an invaluable text for all those who scan for fetal anomalies.

La medicina prenatale costituisce il settore in maggiore espansione e il futuro dell'ostetricia moderna. La sempre maggiore diffusione di tecnologie innovative per lo studio del feto in utero e nuove metodiche diagnostiche entrate nella pratica clinica hanno infatti, di recente, notevolmente ampliato le conoscenze sulla fisiologia e fisiopatologia fetale. Il prodotto del concepimento, fin dalle prime fasi del suo sviluppo, è diventato un "paziente" raggiungibile ed esplorabile e ciò ha aperto la via a nuove possibilità diagnostiche e terapeutiche del tutto insperate. Questo testo si propone di rispondere alla effettiva necessità di riunire in un unico e aggiornato testo di riferimento nozioni e dati di diversa estrazione, essenziali tutti per un ottimale monitoraggio della gravidanza.

This title is commended for Radiology, BMA Awards 2007. Updated to reflect the recent advances in this fastchanging field, this highly illustrated text examines the latest imaging modalities for prenatal diagnosis of foetal abnormalities. A team of leading authorities provides practical, step-by-step guidance on everything from detection and interpretation...to successful management approaches. Algorithms and management strategies throughout not only describe the features of abnormalities, but also show you how to arrive at a correct diagnosis through the use of colour Doppler, 3-D ultrasound, and fetal MR. This second edition offers the essential practice-proven guidance you need to arrive at confident diagnoses in critical situations. It's a resource you'll turn to time and again! It uses a reader-friendly format to facilitate quick access to specific information.

This user-friendly second edition provides a practical introduction to gynaecological ultrasound. It describes and explains background anatomy and physiology, instrumentation and how to make the best use of equipment. Emphasis is placed on how to maximise image quality, and how to recognise normal and pathological features. The volume also assesses other relevant diagnostic techniques and various management strategies, and evaluates the role of ultrasound as part of patient management. It includes chapters on pathology of the uterus, ovaries and adnexae, paediatric and trauma cases, together with management of infertility and other gynaecological perspectives of patient management. Illustrated throughout with numerous high-quality ultrasound images and line drawings, many of them new for this latest edition, this is essential reading for practitioners in training, including radiologists, gynaecologists and sonographers.
