About the BookAbout the AuthorTable of Contents

Interpreting Obstetric Ultrasound: A Case-based Approach contains 23 case scenarios dealing with the use of ultrasound in fetal medicine. The possible causes as well as approach to be followed for each of these scenarios are explained in detail. The cases are organised condition-wise rather than system-wise, since more than one system may be involved in a particular condition. Comprehensively illustrated with numerous ultrasound scans obtained by the author during his many years of experience in this field, this book will greatly aid and guide practising obstetricians, ultrasonographers, radiologists and specialists in Maternal–Fetal Medicine, as well as help candidates prepare for the RCR-RCOG Diploma examination/Fetal Medicine Special Skills Module conducted by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
