"This ninth edition provides a comprehensive overview of pregnancy, obstetric imaging, fetal disorders, and maternal complications of pregnancy. Valuable tools in this book include its content organization, key points at the end of chapters, logical diagrams and algorithms, and methodical approach to fetal abnormalities." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Shivani Patel, MD (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center)
