This volume is the most comprehensive review of the applications of Doppler ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology. The book brings together contributions by an international group of more than 60 recognized experts, who critically review the literature and explain how recent findings can be brought to bear in clinical practice. Nearly 400 illustrations--164 in full color--complement the text. The opening section of the book reviews the principles and physics of Doppler ultrasound. The second section describes gynecologic applications, including ovarian cancer screening, evaluation of pelvic masses, ovulation induction, and in vitro fertilization. The third section covers applications of Doppler in general obstetrics, in high-risk pregnancies, and in diagnosis and management of intrauterine growth retardation. The final section is a comprehensive, 11-chapter mini-text on fetal echocardiography.
