HANDBOOK OF DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING IN OBSTETRICSPrinciples, Techniques, Fetal Anatomy, Doppler Assessment, and Clinical Applications in Modern Perinatal ImagingGentry A. Merrow, MDModern obstetric imaging has transformed prenatal care by providing detailed insights into fetal development, maternal health, and pregnancy-related complications. Handbook of Diagnostic Imaging in Obstetrics offers a comprehensive and clinically oriented guide to the principles, techniques, interpretation, and applications of contemporary perinatal imaging.This essential reference combines foundational concepts with practical imaging approaches, helping clinicians develop a deeper understanding of ultrasound, Doppler evaluation, fetal anatomy assessment, and advanced diagnostic modalities used throughout pregnancy.Inside this handbook, readers will explore: - The fundamentals of obstetric imaging, including ultrasound physics, image optimization, scanning techniques, safety considerations, and quality assessment in prenatal imaging.- Detailed evaluation of fetal anatomy across pregnancy, including normal development, biometric measurements, central nervous system assessment, cardiac imaging, abdominal structures, skeletal evaluation, and placental examination.- Doppler assessment principles and applications, including uteroplacental circulation, umbilical artery Doppler, fetal middle cerebral artery evaluation, ductus venosus assessment, and fetal well-being monitoring.- Advanced imaging techniques such as three-dimensional and four-dimensional ultrasound, fetal MRI, and emerging technologies that enhance prenatal diagnosis.- Clinical applications in high-risk pregnancy, including fetal growth restriction, congenital abnormalities, placental disorders, multiple gestations, and maternal complications.- Practical approaches to image interpretation, reporting, clinical decision-making, and integration of imaging findings into modern perinatal care.Designed for obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, radiologists, sonographers, fellows, residents, and healthcare professionals involved in prenatal diagnosis, this handbook provides a valuable resource for mastering the rapidly evolving field of obstetric imaging.With its emphasis on clinical application, anatomical understanding, and evidence-based imaging practice, Handbook of Diagnostic Imaging in Obstetrics supports accurate diagnosis, improved patient counseling, and better pregnancy outcomes in modern perinatal medicine.
