Timor's Ultrasonography of the Prenatal Brain

THE authoritative guide to prenatal neuro ultrasound—fully updated and revised!

Featuring unmatched content from an international team of experts, Ultrasound of the Prenatal Brain facilitates a thorough comprehension the normal and abnormal fetal central nervous system. With highly clinical text and visual atlas, this acclaimed reference covers the full spectrum of prenatal sonography tools and insight—from using ultrasound and MRI to diagnose the fetal face, eye, and brain, to the neurobehavioral development of the fetal brain.

This fourth edition has been updated with new chapters, revised content, and higher-quality 2D and 3D imaging highlighting cross-sectional views of the brain for practical learning from every angle. Full-color original illustrations demonstrate ideal fetal development, probe placement, and representative views.
