What are the Key Features of "Diagnostic Imaging : Obstetrics 5th Edition" ?

• Serves as a one-stop resource for key concepts and information on obstetric imaging and the diagnosis and management of fetal/maternal issues, including dramatic new changes in technology, guidelines, and emerging practice areas
• Covers important new changes in technology, including recent innovations in 3D ultrasound and fetal MR, as well as the earliest ultrasound findings seen with each condition, emphasizing first-trimester diagnosis
• Contains new material on microarray, whole exome, and whole genome analysis; new guidelines from multiple fetal-imaging organizations; and new chapters on fetal interventional procedures and surgery, including chest interventions, fetal neural tube treatment, urinary tract interventions, and monochorionic twin intervention
• Offers more than 300 concise, informative chapters arranged by organ system; includes embryology and anatomy overview chapters at the beginning of each main section; and offers comprehensive coverage of differential diagnosis throughout
• Features 3,100+ high-quality print images (with an additional 2,000+ images and 175 videos in the complimentary eBook), including radiology images, full-color medical illustrations, clinical photographs, and gross pathology and histology images
• Emphasizes multidisciplinary involvement from expert contributing authors in radiology, perinatology, cardiology, pediatrics, surgery, and clinical genetics
• Uses succinct bulleted text and highly templated chapters for quick comprehension of essential information at the point of care
• Includes an eBook that allows you access to everything in the print version as well as new text, 175 videos, and thousands of additional images and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud; additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date

• The 5th ed includes emphasis on fetal Intervention, an emerging, new, and cutting edge, area of practice. Individual chapters have significant updates in treatment sections including shunt placements for pleural effusions and bladder outlet obstructions. New chapters address laser procedures for twin complications and fetoscopic surgery for neural tube defects and masses
• Major advancements have come to light since 4th ed published in June 2021 on the understanding of genetic basis of disease. This has significantly impacted the diagnosis and management of maternal/fetal issues. It is no longer a basic chromosome analysis, but now more detailed diagnoses can be made with microarray, whole exome, and whole genome analysis
• There is a new emphasis from all the fetal imaging societies (SRU, SMFM, ACOG, ISUOG, NAFTNet) to standardize practice guidelines across the various organizations. These standards are defined and implemented across multiple sections of the book
