Finally, there's a comprehensive, sonographer-oriented reference that offers in-depth instructions for sonography of both the fetus and the embryo. In a system-by-system, head-to-toe approach, this book demonstrates how to determine normal and abnormal anatomy, age and size of the developing child using state-of-the-art sonographic methods and technologies. FETAL SONOGRAPHY will help the novice enter the field of diagnostic medical sonography, and serve as an essential resource throughout a sonographer's career.
Introduces fetal sonographic history, acoustic physics, statistics, sonographic biological effects of safety, and the general aspects of conducting obstetrical sonographic examinations.Demonstrates the actual manipulations of the sonographic transducer and includes a working vocabulary for understanding the various motions involved in physical use of transducers - makes the book truly unique.
Presents new methods for evaluating three-dimensional cranial morphology - not found in any other book of this kind.Addresses evaluation of both fetal as well as non-fetal structures such as the placenta, umbilical cord, amniotic fluid, as well as maternal changes in the morphology of the uterus.
Provides many effective tools for determining fetal age and size including, ARA (age range analysis), correlation of the embryonic heart rate with age, plus graphs and tables.Depicts a complete image series of normal changes in fetal anatomy from start to finish.
