This is a high-level, color-illustrated clinical reference on the use of ultrasound in fetal diagnosis and therapy. It contains eleven comprehensive chapters by the top physicians at the leading centers for fetal ultrasound in the USA, UK, Europe, and Israel. Focusing on clinical applications, the authors outline and discuss the technical aspects of Doppler velocimetry. Topics include fetal shunt procedures and blood transfusion, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, diagnosis and treatment of fetal arrhythmias, the management of fetal infection, pharmacologic fetal therapy, stem-cell fetal therapy, diagnosis and therapy in hydrocephalus, open neural tube and ventral wall defects, and the prevention and treatment of intrauterine growth retardation.
