Saunders. 348pp.

This thoroughly revised edition has all of the strengths and information of Before We Are Born—and then some. This popular text makes it surprisingly easy to gain an in-depth understanding of human embryology. Engaging and richly illustrated, it examines all aspects of human development, emphasizing both basic concepts and relevant clinical problems. The book presents a week-by-week and stage-by-stage view of how fetal organs and systems develop, why and when birth defects occur, and what roles the placenta and fetal membranes play in development.

Saunders. 536 pp.

A short, simple, clear, well-illustrated introduction that covers and unifies the basic principles and concepts of ultrasound physics. Perfect for physicsphobes. UPI topics are covered, although (by design) not as deeply or complexly as in Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation by Hedrick, Hykes and Starchman, and Diagnostic Ultrasound: Principles and Instruments by Kremkau. Self-assessment quizzes ensure that you understand each chapter. Mosby. 334 illustrations. 240 pp.

The fetal heart is considered to be the most important and difficult part of fetal examination. This practical and emphatically clinical book and the DVD that comes with it enable the reader first to determine whether the heart is normal or not, and then, if not, to diagnose the type of cardiac abnormality. To provide the skills and methodology to do this, the book covers basic anatomy and embryology and explains what to look for, as well as why and how. It also describes associated pathology (e.g. chromosomal abnormalities, syndromes), which the sonographer must know once a cardiac abnormality has been found.

Here is what you will find in this powerful combination of book and DVD:

Why Fetal Heart Ultrasound?

Introduction. General principles. Review. Application to fetal cardiopathies. References.

Technical Aspects

Physical principals of ultrasound applied to fetal ultrasound. Reflection of ultrasound waves. The shortest pathway. Getting around obstacles. From the point of view of time. Physical principles of Doppler. New techniques linked to volume acquisition. Practical controls. Elements to set permanently. Zoom. Focus. Gain. Preset elements. Dynamic range. Frequency. Beamline density. Persistence. Contours. Doppler settings. The size of the box. The incident wave direction. PRF. Color gain. Using ultrasound to examine the fetal heart. Echostructure.

Correlating the Ultrasound Image with the Anatomy

Three steps, 10 key points: First step: Position. Key points: Lateralization, organs, vessels, the axis of the heart. Second Step: Inflow. Key points: Heart, diaphragm, and pulmonary veins; 4 chambers; contractile, balanced, concordant; crux-of-the-heart, rings, and offsetting. Third Step: Outflow. Key points: 2 balanced outlet chambers with the alignment of the septum, 2 superimposed and crossed arched vessels; balanced and concordant. Regular aortic arch. References.

Conducting the Examination and Avoiding Pitfalls

Taking the history. A fast glance. Views verifying the 10 key points and their pitfalls. The lift, verification of the position, and pitfalls. Technique and pitfalls: elements of lateralization, organ position, vessel position. The four chamber view: inlet verification and its pitfalls. The technique. Axial apical pathway. Crux-of-the-heart. Pitfalls. The Ao and apex of the heart on the same side to the left. The heart's axis. The swings. Lateral fluctuation: asymmetries. Anterior-posterior movements: false AVSD and false VSD. View LV-aorta. Axial-apical view. Axial lateral view. "SOS" view: Sagittal and its pitfalls. View RV-PT. Axial view. Small axis view and its pitfalls. The 3 vessel or 2 arches view. Pitfalls. Sagittal view and the aortic arch. Pitfalls. Further Reading. References.

Critical Cardiac Pathologies Not To Be Overlooked

First step: Position pathologies. Key points: Position anomalies of the organs, of situs; vessel position; anomalies of the position of the heart; in the right thorax; heart axis. Second Step: Inlet pathologies. Key points: Anomalies of pulmonary venous return; irregular number of chambers (3, 4+ or 5 chambers); unbalanced; abnormalities of the atrioventricular valves (atresia of one AV valve and the spectrum of AVSD). Third Step: Outflow pathologies. Key points: VSD misalignment in CTC, complete transposition of the great vessels, hypoplasia of the left tract, ventricular-arterial discordances and position errors, coarctation of the aorta, interruption of the aortic arch. References.

Fetal Morphological Examination after the Discovery of a Cardiopathy

Unknown karyotypes. Investigation for signs associated with the principal chromosomal anomalies. Normal known karyotype. Investigation of a microdeletion 22 q11 or signs linked with associations or genetic syndromes. Cardiopathy and intrauterine restricted growth (IURG). Fetal alcohol syndrome. VACTERL syndrome. References.

Points to remember

Technical points. Key points in the heart exam. Morphology. Further Reading.

Gain a firm understanding of normal anatomy and physiology from a sonographic perspective! Sonography: Introduction to Normal Structure and Function, 3rd Edition shows normal anatomy as it appears during scanning, with labeled drawings explaining what you should notice. With this knowledge, you will be able to accurately identify sonographic pathology and abnormalities. Over 1,200 illustrations include the latest and best images from the newest ultrasound equipment, including 3D and 4D images. Written by expert educators Reva Curry and Betty Tempkin, this book provides complete preparation for the challenges you'll encounter in the clinical environment.

Master the content from your textbook with this helpful review! Corresponding to the chapters in Sonography: Introduction to Normal Structure and Function, 3rd Edition, this workbook and lab manual includes exercises and unlabeled illustrations. You fill in the labels to identify the anatomy in drawings and sonograms, reinforcing your understanding of the text.

The perfect chapter-by-chapter learning companion to Textbook of Diagnostic Sonography, 7th Edition, this workbook makes it easy to review key sonography concepts and reinforce your understanding of general/abdominal sonography, obstetric/gynecologic sonography, vascular sonography, and echocardiography. A wide variety of activities, review questions, and case studies strengthen your critical thinking skills and help you learn how to successfully apply your knowledge to practice.

Key Features

Review questions presented in a variety of formats -- short answers,      multiple-choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and labeling -- assess      learning at various levels. Review of key terms and pathology helps you reinforce your      understanding of essential information. Anatomy labeling activities test your ability to identify anatomic      structures in sonographic images. Image analysis exercises familiarize you with conditions you may      encounter in the clinical setting.

New To This Edition

New chapters reinforce your understanding of the latest clinically      relevant content in the areas of:      • Essentials of Patient Care for the Sonographer      • Artifacts in Image Acquisition      • Understanding Other Imaging Modalities      • Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Issues in Sonography      • 3D and 4D Evaluation of Fetal Anomalies Case reviews with accompanying images challenge you to apply your      knowledge to real-world clinical situations. Updated scans and content reflect important changes in urinary, liver,      musculoskeletal, breast, cerebrovascular, gynecological, and      obstetric sonography.

Like Zagzebski’s Essentials, this fine book is very well-written and easy to understand, but its coverage of UPI topics is broader and more complex. If you want a very thorough text and have neither a fear of physics nor a love of highly technical language, this may be your best choice. Adequately illustrated and well written, it includes a glossary, self-assessment exercises to guide you, and color plates. Mosby. 650 illustrations. 464 pp.
