This is a comprehensive "atlas" of the brain of the newborn infant as depicted by high-frequency ultrasound. For ease of use, the volume is arranged into distinct parts. Coverage begins with "echo-anatomy", then proceeds through congenital anomalies, in utero acquired brain damage, and perinatal injury. Where relevant, corresponding CT or MRI pictures are provided. Additional topics covered include Doppler imaging and the measurement of echodensity. Throughout the work, the authors maintain a focus on relevance for the practicing physician. Thoroughly illustrated with over 600 halftones and color plates, this is an impressively up-to-date and comprehensive book.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This Atlas of Neonatal Brain Sonography is probably one of the most up-to-date and comprehensive guidebooks on this subject, which I am sure will become a meaningful reference for pediatricians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, intensivists, radiologists, and all those physicians caring for newborn infants." Neurological Research

"In summary, this text is well written and highly readable. The book, with its numerous illustrations, is excellent value...can be highly recommended as a reference for trainees in neonatology, pediatrics, pediatric neurology and radiology and would be a valuable addition to the libraries of those who are involved in the performance or interpretation of ultrasonography in the newborn." The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences

Book Description

The first comprehensive 'atlas' of the brain of the newborn infant as depicted by high-frequency ultrasound. For ease of use the volume is arranged into four parts following through normal anatomy, pathology, Doppler imaging measurements and spinal sonography. Each part includes practical detail and the volume is extensively illustrated throughout with over 400 half tones including colour plates. This will be the most up-to-date and comprehensive book on its subject, and an essential reference tool for all neonatal departments.
