Donald School Textbook of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 4th Edition: Comprehensive Guide on Modern Ultrasound Techniques

This textbook focuses on the pivotal role of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology, highlighting its evolution and current applications. Ultrasound is now integral to modern practice, making it hard to imagine a time when undiagnosed twins were a delivery surprise, unnecessary surgeries were performed for suspected pelvic masses, and anomalies in newborns were unexpected. Recent technological advancements, such as color Doppler, power Doppler, and three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) imaging, have far exceeded initial expectations.

The book is divided into three sections: general aspects, obstetrics, and gynecology, encompassing 62 chapters. Key topics include the safety of ultrasound, the development of 3D ultrasound, artifacts and pitfalls, fetal and maternal physiology, normal and abnormal early pregnancy, trophoblastic diseases, Doppler ultrasound, fetal central nervous system, diagnostic sonography of fetal anomalies, and various ultrasound-guided interventions such as chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, and fetal blood sampling.

This comprehensive textbook, featuring state-of-the-art images, is invaluable for both new learners and experienced practitioners in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
