This book presents original new data along with authoritative analyses and syntheses of all available clinical and research findings on using ultrasound, including color Doppler and magnetic resonance imaging, to examine and diagnose pathologies of, damage to, and anomalies of the fetal brain. It has eleven color plates of ultrasound and color Doppler scans, many black-and-white illustrations, and the largest collection of references ever published on ultrasound and the fetal brain. The contributing authors are the world's pioneering experts on ultrasound diagnosis in obstetrics and gynecology, whose work forms the backbone of modern clinical practice and research in this field.
