Description
Overview
In the last decade, 3D ultrasound has become widely used in obstetrical imaging. It is estimated that more than half of obstetrical clinics now use ultrasound equipment with 3D capabilities. Initially recognized for producing beautiful images of fetal faces, 3D ultrasound has evolved into an essential tool for prenatal diagnosis due to its ability to visualize fetal organs in both normal and abnormal conditions. This book serves as a state-of-the-art, practical guide to the application of 3D ultrasound in obstetrics, offering valuable insights for clinical practice.
