'The pictures are of very good quality and reflect the current practice in the three-dimensional reconstruction of modern ultrasound images. In many sections of the book, there are multiple presentations of magnetic resonance images of the central nervous system. This is a good book for practicing pediatric or fetal neurosurgeons and a good buy for pediatric neurosurgery departments.' - Doody's Review Service
Advanced imaging technologies such as transvaginal sonography, 3D technology, and MRIs have opened up a new era in the prenatal diagnosis and management of central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities. An Atlas of Fetal Central Nervous System Disease contains over 100 images of congenital CNS anomalies and brain injuries in utero. It covers how to use advanced neuroimaging technologies for accurate CNS diagnosis and obstetrical management, provides detailed illustrations of the procedures for postnatal neurosurgical management, and helps answer questions about the timing of brain insult in utero and in cerebral palsy.
