This evidence-based book shows how to use ultrasound to identify potential problems andhow best to manage them. Working backwards from the fetal finding ormaternal problem, this practical resource explores potential diagnostic routes and management plans. Throughout the book, the author uses “case in point” examples to focus on how to extractthe most useful information from a standard ultrasound examination. Dr. Hobbins, whohas spent more than three decades using ultrasound in a perinatal setting, also thoroughlyexplores vital issues suchas comprehensive examination of the fetal anatomy, the meaning of various abnormal findings, how ultrasound can be used to enhance the management of obstetrical complications, dealing with discrepant biometry, diabetes and hypertension, advanced maternal age, preterm labor, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and safety of ultrasound.
