Atlas of Fetal MRI

The only text to provide in-depth illustrations of the normal and abnormal fetal anatomy on MR imaging, this guide includes chapters highlighting the cutting edge in the imaging of the fetal skull, face, neck, nervous system, chest, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system. Edited by a seasoned authority on the topic, Atlas of Fetal MRI : * contains numerous illustrations of fetal anatomy with mention of changes in appearance that occur during gestation * provides chapters on the physics of fast MR, the impact of MR on the fetal surgery patient, and maternal abdominopelvic complications in pregnancy * includes multiple images of normal fetal anatomy throughout gestation, with in-depth coverage of the development of the fetal central nervous system throughout the second and third trimesters * covers a wide range of CNS anomalies including ventriculomegaly, porencephaly, agenesis of the corpus callosum, tuberous sclerosis, encephaloceles, Dandy Walker variants, and cortical gyral abnormalities * details the use of MR in the diagnosis and care of patients with ovarian, placental, uterine, and abdominal abnormalities during pregnancy. Discussing applications at the forefront of the discipline, this reference studies data gleaned from MR examinations of maternal and fetal health, reviews common fast imaging techniques, details pitfalls related to fetal MR imaging, and analyzes methods for improving image resolution.Levine, Deborah is the author of 'Atlas of Fetal MRI' with ISBN 9780824725488 and ISBN 0824725484.
