This book provides an accurate description of all ultrasound-guided invasive procedures in obstetrics and gynaecology, including breast disease. The primary aim of the editors has been to provide a practical guide for the clinician and answer common questions regarding materials, techniques, technology, procedure related risks and so on. They have assembled a highly distinguished team of contributors who provide clear, practical guidance for clinicians working with interventional ultrasound.

With rapid development of ultrasound technology, its clinical application is expanding and deepening. This book is focused on practical application of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology. Besides ultrasound diagnosis, the new progress of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology, such as interventional ultrasound, 3D ultrasound, and endoscopic ultrasonography, is also discussed. Typical images selected from abundant cases are provided with concise and refining key points. It serves as a valuable reference for sonologists, radiologists and gynaecologists for accurate diagnosis.

This is a state-of-the-art colour-illustrated how-to clinical reference text on interventional ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology. It contains fifteen chapters, extensively illustrated, explaining how to use the special ultrasound equipment and other surgical tools required for the broad range of invasive applications of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology. These include cyst aspiration, amniocentesis, reproductive endocrinology, fetal biopsy and puncture, monitoring early embryonic development, termination of pregnancy, evaluation of malignancy, laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, multifetal pregnancy reduction, chorionic villus sampling, IUD removal, fetal cardiology, cordocentesis, and invasive procedures in multiple pregnancies plus a special chapter on ethics. The authors are leading experts in their field, often documenting their previously unpublished experiences and data for the first time in this important book. Includes bibliographic references and index.

3D ultrasound shows a still image of a foetus, far more detailed than the 2D flat grey scale imaging. 4D ultrasound is more advanced, showing a moving image, allowing obstetricians to evaluate foetal well-being. It is also used by gynaecologists to examine uterine anomalies. The second edition of this book is a step by step guide to 3D and 4D ultrasound in obstetrics, gynaecology and infertility. Divided into seven sections, it begins with discussion on instruments and scanning techniques, and normal pelvic anatomy by ultrasound. The following chapters examine uterine lesions and the use of ultrasound for infertility evaluation. The final sections discuss 3D/4D ultrasound in early pregnancy and foetal anatomy and malformations in mid and late pregnancy. This concise handbook has been fully updated to include the latest developments in 3D/4D ultrasound, and includes nearly 220 detailed photographs and ultrasound images. Key points Fully updated, new edition presenting latest developments in 3D and 4D ultrasound in obstetrics, gynaecology and infertility Describes normal pelvic anatomy to help recognition of anomalies and malformations Includes numerous clinical photographs and ultrasound images Previous edition published in 2008

This fourth edition presents clinicians with the most recent developments in ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology. Beginning with an introduction to the physics, machines and measurements used in ultrasonography, the following sections provide in depth coverage of its use in diagnosing and managing different obstetrical and gynaecological conditions. The text also covers infertility, interventional procedures, other methods in radiology and legal and ethical issues. Presented in an easy to follow, bulleted format, this new edition includes numerous ultrasound images, illustrations and tables, as well as a quick reference appendices section which includes AIUM (American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine) Guidelines and protocols from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia.
