Book description
This beautifully illustrated and formatted book covers all of the
established and developing indications for the use of color Doppler
ultrasound in gynecology and obstetrics. In gynecology the modality is
used to measure blood flow in benign changes of the endometrium as well
as malignant tumors of the uterus; screening for ovarian carcinoma,
including 3D-power doppler for the assessment of angiogenesis of ovarian
tumors; and as an adjunct examination in assessing tumors of the breast.
In obstetrics, the imaging method is useful in screening for gestosis
and placental insufficiency in early pregnancy; evaluating the umbilical
cord; fetal echocardiography and much more. More recent developments
show the modality to be helpful in infertility diagnosis and
reproductive medicine, providing information on the patency of the
fallopian tubes, the quality of the vascularization of the uterus and
more. With almost 600 illustrations and 90 useful tables, as well as a
text that is highly structured for efficient reading, this text provides
practitioners with technical and methodological basics as well as
advanced tips for experienced users. "Beautifully presented..
This textbook contains a very comprehensive and well-illustrated review
of the role of Doppler sonography in obstetrics and
gynecology."--ASUM Ultrasound Bulletin Professor and Director,
