Author Description

More than an atlas, this fascinating new resource combines crystal-clear ultrasound images with case studies to test the reader's ability to diagnose and understand fetal and pediatric diseases and disorders. The text explains, defines and reveals in detail what can be seen in images accompanying each case study. Chapters also discuss how the diagnosis was accomplished, how problems may have occurred and prognosis of the patients. The first section reviews imaging of the fetus by body section: head and neck, chest, abdomen, genital system, and musculoskeletal system. The remainder-and majority of the text-presents images and case studies of pediatric patients by body system.
