Ebook: Color doppler sonography in gynecology and obstetrics
Author: Bahlmann F., Kurjak Asim, Schmidt Werner
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.
