This fourth edition provides clinicians with the latest information on the role of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology. Divided into three sections, the book begins with an introduction to the use of ultrasound, followed by its application in both pregnant women and in the diagnosis of gynaecological disorders. The new edition has been fully revised and includes new chapters on fallopian tube ultrasound, HD live Silhouette and HD live Flow, 3D ultrasound in prenatal diagnosis, foetal face, and 4D ultrasound. A complete section on Foetal Therapy has also been added covering stem cell and gene therapy, ultrasound guided interventions, and open foetal surgery. Authored by recognised experts from Croatia and the USA, this comprehensive manual is enhanced by nearly 2000 ultrasound images, illustrations and tables.

Ultrasound is the backbone of modern obstetrics and gynecology practice. Younger physicians may find it hard to imagine the clinical realities of doctors who delivered undiagnosed twins presenting at delivery, who performed unnecessary surgeries for the clinical suspicion of a pelvic mass that was not present, and who consoled anguished parents when an anomalous infant was born unexpectedly. Recent technological breakthroughs in diagnostic ultrasound, including the advent of color Doppler, power Doppler, three-dimensional and four-dimensional imaging, have led ultrasound to surpass the expectations of Ian Donald. This book comprises of three sections such as general aspects, obstetrics, and gynecology which consists of 62 chapters that include safety of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology, development of three-dimensional ultrasound, artifacts, pitfalls and normal variants, fetal and maternal physiology and ultrasound diagnosis, normal and abnormal early pregnancy, trophoblastic diseases, Doppler ultrasound, fetal central nervous system, corpus callosum and three-dimensional ultrasound, the fetal thorax, diagnostic sonography of fetal urinary tract anomalies, measurement of cervical length, chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis and fetal blood sampling, ultrasound-guided fetal intervention, fetoscopic interventions etc. This comprehensive textbook with state-of-the-art images will be of value for both new learners and experienced practitioners Ultrasound Is The Backbone Of Modern Obstetric And Gynecology Practice. Recent Technological Breakthroughs In Diagnostic Ultrasound, Including The Advent Of Color Doppler, Power Doppler, Three-dimensional And Four Dimensional Imaging, Have Led Ultrasound To Surpass The Expectations Of Ian Donald, Its Visionary Father. The Text Is Divided Into Three Parts General Aspects, Obstetrics, And Gynecology. The First And Second Textbooks Were Successful In This Endeavor, But With The Explosion Of Knowledge, It Was Clear That An Expanded And Updated Third Edition Would Be Invaluable. Section One Deals With A Variety Of Topics That Lay The Foundation For The Rest Of The Book. Section Two Addresses The Myriad Subtopics In Obstetric Ultrasound That Optimize The Care Of Pregnant Women And Fetal Patients. The Last Section Addresses The Essential Role That Ultrasound Plays In The Many Dimensions Of Clinical Gynecology. The third edition of Donald School Textbook of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology has been fully updated to present the most recent information on the role of ultrasound in the care of pregnant women. Edited by experts from leading international medical centres, the book begins with an introduction to ultrasound, then goes on to describe its uses and interpretation in obstetrics and gynaecology.
