9781898683094: An Atlas of Neonatal Brain Sonography

Synopsis

The first comprehensive 'atlas' of the brain of the newborn infant as depicted by high-frequency ultrasound. For ease of use the volume is arranged into four parts. The first concentrates on normal 'echo-anatomy'. This is followed by part 2 which constitutes the main body of the book and focuses on anomalies and abnormalities of the infant brain and also provides practical advice on reasons for withholding intensive care. Each section herein has been carefully organised to provide easy user access to a wealth of information; starting with a description of the pathological basis and aetiology of the condition, followed by an explanation of what should be visible, and finishing with high quality illustration. A third part of the atlas considers cerebral Doppler flow measurements and colour Doppler imaging of the brain of the newborn infant, and finally there is coverage of spinal sonography. Highly illustrated throughout with over 400 half-tones and colour plates, this will be the most up-to-date and comprehensive book on its subject, and an essential reference tool for all neonatal departments.
