Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

See It. Measure It. Document It. Report It With Confidence.In obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound, the examination and interpretation happen together. What was never obtained cannot be recovered afterward. That makes technique, measurement, documentation, and clinical judgment just as important as recognizing the final image.This comprehensive, evidence-referenced working reference is written for the operator at the ultrasound machine, not simply the reader at a desk. Across 16 practical chapters, you'll master: - Ultrasound physics, image optimization, artifacts, safety, documentation, and quality assurance- Early pregnancy, including dating, pregnancy of unknown location, pregnancy loss, ectopic pregnancy, and first-trimester assessment- Fetal biometry and anatomy, from the brain and spine to the heart, abdomen, urinary tract, skeleton, placenta, cord, fluid, and cervix- Doppler assessment, multiple gestation, and third-trimester surveillance- Gynecologic ultrasound, including the uterus, endometrium, ovaries, adnexa, bleeding, risk stratification, and acute presentations- Structured reporting, diagnostic error, urgent findings, and defensible clinical impressionsWhat makes this reference different is its emphasis on technique before interpretation. Measurements include the correct plane, caliper convention, and common sources of error. Thresholds, classifications, and reference ranges are attributed and dated, with professional disagreements identified rather than concealed.You'll also find consolidated threshold tables, measurement references, structured reporting templates, a clinical glossary, AMA-style references, and 80 illustrative clinical-setting photographs.Designed for sonographers, OB/GYN and radiology residents, fellows, and clinicians developing their ultrasound practice.Build a more systematic examination, make better-supported interpretations, and produce reports your colleagues can act on.
