This evidence-based book shows how to use ultrasound to identifypotential problems and
how best to manage them. Working backwards from the fetal findingor maternal problem,
this practical resource explores potential diagnostic routes andmanagement plans.
Throughout the book, the author uses 'case in point'examples to focus on how to extract
the most useful information from a standard ultrasound examination.Dr. Hobbins, who
has spent more than three decades using ultrasound in a perinatalsetting, also thoroughly
explores vital issues such as comprehensive examination of thefetal anatomy, the meaning of various abnormal findings, howultrasound can be used to enhance the management ofobstetrical
complications, dealing with discrepant biometry, diabetes andhypertension, advanced maternal age, preterm labor, intrauterinegrowth restriction (IUGR) and safety of ultrasound.
