This evidence-based book shows how to use ultrasound to identify
potential problems and
how best to manage them. Working backwards from the fetal finding
or maternal problem,
this practical resource explores potential diagnostic routes and
management plans.
Throughout the book, the author uses ‘case in point’
examples to focus on how to extract
the most useful information from a standard ultrasound examination.
Dr. Hobbins, who
has spent more than three decades using ultrasound in a perinatal
setting, also thoroughly
explores vital issues such as comprehensive examination of the
fetal anatomy, the meaning of various abnormal findings, how
ultrasound can be used to enhance the management of
obstetrical
complications, dealing with discrepant biometry, diabetes and
hypertension, advanced maternal age, preterm labor, intrauterine
growth restriction (IUGR) and safety of ultrasound.
