Review

"This textbook covers a wide range of fetal abnormalities in a compact, comprehensive and nicely illustrated manner. It addresses not only issues directly related to diagnosis and management of abnormalities but it also refers to topics such as safety of ultrasound and genetics. It is a good reference book with a large bibliography. It is likely to be useful to a wide range of specialists dealing with different aspects of foetal medicine."

This review is from: Textbook of Fetal Abnormalities (Hardcover)

A brand new book on fetal anomalies, remarkably clear, well organized and beautifully illustrated (both consistent style of drawings and clear ultrasound images). Concise with broad coverage. Many contributors, but still with a nice coherence. More of a Radiology flavor than an MFM flavor. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rational guide for ultrasound diagnosis of fetal anomalies, January 22, 2001

Fehmi Yazıcıoğlu,MD (Istanbul Turkey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Textbook of Fetal Abnormalities (Hardcover)

It is concise yet very comprehensive, written mainly to meet the needs of the busy clinician. An outstanding exemple of the British art of medical textbook-writing:You don't feel yourself tired and challenged after each section, regretting to have spent so much time to retain so little, but on the contrary with this book you realize whom you should put the blame on for all your past failures in getting a working knowledge of "targeted imaging of fetal anomalies" with ultrasound.

Hermosa presentación con gráficas de gran calidad. Conciso y de muy acertada distribución. Cubre una gran cantidad de tópicos desde la física hasta las malformaciones y síndromes menos frecuentes. De gran ayuda en la dilucidación de anomalías fetales así como para descifrar los casos más inusuales.
