Fetal Neurosonography

What would make this book unique is its focus on the fetal central nervous system (CNS) ultrasound, encompassing the wide range of CNS anomalies and the need for in-depth knowledge in fetal brain and spine normal anatomy and related abnormalities. From the anatomy and pathophysiology of the main CNS anomalies to the latest advancements in diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions, this book provides a thorough exploration of the subject matter.One of the key strengths of this book series lies in its structured approach. Each volume follows an organized framework, enabling readers to navigate through the content effortlessly. From the fundamentals of CNS ultrasound imaging to the intricacies of differential diagnosis, counseling and management of CNS anomalies, this book presents information in a logical and accessible manner. This structure not only facilitates comprehension but also allows readers to quickly locate specific topics and delve deeper into areas of interest.By creating this book, our aim is to fill a critical gap in the field of fetal medicine and ultrasound education. While numerous resources exist, this book stands out due to its comprehensive nature, covering both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of neurosonography. It also offers essential information for counseling and presents high-quality ultrasound images, enabling specialists to systematically and confidently approach normal CNS anatomy and accurately diagnose and manage CNS abnormalities, also exploring the role of additional imaging techniques, such as MRI, and genetic testing. This book bridges the divide between research and clinical practice, equipping healthcare professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to provide optimal care for women throughout their reproductive lifespan. In conclusion, this book offers a resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, educators, and students in the field, bridging the gap between theory and practice and aiming to elevate the standard of care in fetal neurosonography.
