Doppler Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology

The second edition of Doppler Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology has been expanded and comprehensively updated to present the current standards of practice in Doppler ultrasound and the most recent developments in the technology. Doppler Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology encompasses the full spectrum of clinical applications of Doppler ultrasound for the practicing obstetrician-gynecologist, including the latest advances in 3D and color Doppler and the newest techniques in 4D fetal echocardiography. Written by preeminent experts in the field, the book covers the basic and physical principles of Doppler ultrasound; the use of Doppler for fetal examination, including fetal cerebral circulation; Doppler echocardiography of the fetal heart; and the use of Doppler for postdated pregnancy and in cases of multiple gestation. Chapters on the use of Doppler for gynecologic investigation include ultrasound in ectopic pregnancy, for infertility, for benign disorders and for gynecologic malignancies.

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This is one of the best and most complete textbooks of Doppler sonography in pregnancy. It could usher a neophyte to a greater level of understanding of Doppler sonography as well as serve as a reference for Doppler experts. The recent advances in Doppler ultrasound (as evidenced by eight completely new chapters) justifies replacing the previous edition...The authors do an excellent job of simplifying technical explanations. The focus is on clinical applications with mention of evidence-based medicine where appropriate. The inclusion of over 500 figures, of which 100 are in color, within the text rather than in a separate section improves the flow of reading in this edition. Many of the 3D color and power Doppler images are of excellent quality..."Jason K. Baxter, Thomas Jefferson Univ., Doodys Review, April 2006.

"This is an extremely comprehensive work covering all aspects of all Doppler studies in obstetrics and gynaecology … . would be an excellent reference work for those who use Doppler ultrasound occasionally in their obstetric and gynaecological practice. On the whole, the book is well compiled and well written. It presents the most comprehensive work of its type currently available." (Professor W. R. Lees, RAD Magazine, July, 2007)
