Opis

This is a complete, authoritative clinician's textbook on using ultrasound as the main diagnostic tool in the prenatal detection of congenital abnormalities. It summarizes the prevalence, etiology, prenatal sonographic features, and prognosis for both common and rare fetal abnormalities. The book provides the basis of learning for the theoretical component of the Certificate of Competence in the 18-23-week scan awarded by The Fetal Medicine Foundation. It covers the risk of major trisomies in relation to maternal age and gestation, antenatal sonographic findings in skeletal dysplasias, and fetal biometry at 14-40 weeks of gestation.
