Ultrasound for Congenital Fetal Anomalies

This book is a comprehensive guide to ultrasound and congenital foetal anomalies, for obstetricians.

Divided into twelve chapters, the book begins with an introduction to normal and abnormal embryo and foetal anatomy, then provides guidance on accurate scanning and measurement taking to assist understanding of abnormal ultrasound findings.

Authored by a recognised expert in the field, the book is further enhanced by ultrasound images, illustrations and tables.
