Comprehensive, up to date, and highly illustrated, First Trimester Ultrasound Diagnosis of Fetal Abnormalities, Second Edition, is an authoritative, systematic guide to the role of first trimester ultrasound in pregnancy risk assessment and the early detection of fetal malformations. Drs. Alfred Z. Abuhamad, Rabih Chaoui, and Bernard Benoit cover all recent advances in the use of ultrasound in early gestation, accompanied by more than 2,000 example scans, illustrations, and tables, making this thoroughly revised text an excellent daily resource in clinical practice. Covers general aspects of first trimester ultrasound, including physical principles and bioeffects, technical aspects, fetal biometry and pregnancy dating, image optimization with grayscale, color Doppler and three-dimensional ultrasound, screening for chromosomal aneuploidies, multiple pregnancies, and moreProvides detailed coverage of first trimester ultrasound findings in normal and abnormal conditions, covering various organ systems as well as the placenta and umbilical cord with new chapters on embryology and embryonic abnormalities and genetic syndromesContains more than 200 anatomical illustrations, 30% more ultrasound scans, and eight all-new chaptersIncludes valuable tips and pearls from Drs. Alfred Abuhamad and Rabih Chaoui, the team behind the bestselling Practical Guide to Fetal Echocardiography, and new author Dr. Bernard Benoit, an international expert on fetal ultrasound

This atlas offers a guide to studying the fetal face by means of ultrasound analysis. It describes key phases in cranial-facial development, allowing the reader to learn the related semiology from its most simple iteration to the most complex one. The overall examination of a newborn’s face offers a rich source of information and can guide the general examination. The same applies in the context of fetal ultrasound examination. The analytical study of the fetal face not only makes it possible to screen for anomalies related to the face itself, but also yields valuable insights into the brain, the limbs, and the heart. In addition, it allows ultra-sonographers to unravel the puzzle of fetal dimorphism.Written in a pedagogical style, the book guides walks the reader through the diagnostic reasoning process step by step. The authors are pioneers in this field and teach in various university and master’s degree ultrasound programs. Their aim is to share with readers their diagnostic approaches and their knowledge and passion for 2D and 3D ultrasound techniques. Each chapter includes algorithms, biometry curves, and simple guidelines that allow users to go “from sign to syndrome”. The first chapter, which focuses on innovative embryology adapted to the needs of ultra-sonographers, was written by Gérard Couly, a maxilla-facial surgeon and the founding father of the specialty>
