Overview

This is an interdisciplinary clinical reference text on improving all aspects of fetal diagnosis and therapy. The opening chapter focuses on the clinical ethics of appreciating the fetus as a patient. Section 1 presents new dimensions in fetal imaging, emphasizing Doppler ultrasound, three-dimensional ultrasound, tissue echogenecity, and fetal radiology. Section 2 covers the rapidly evolving science of molecular genetics and screening for fetal abnormalities. Section 3 contains the latest information about fetal surgery. Section 4 describes the various modalities available to obstetricians for assessing the fetal condition. Section 5 provides the latest information on the clinical management of especially controversial areas in perinatology, both before and after birth.
