This extensively illustrated book guides readers through the use of ultrasound–including modern 3D images–to detect and identify birth defects in utero. Up-to-date advice is offered on the differential diagnosis of a wide range of fetal abnormalities. Throughout the book, ultrasound images are matched with actual birth pictures or abortus specimens. Each anomaly is discussed in a standardized, easy-to-follow format that covers characteristic features, pathogenesis and etiology, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and management.
