Ultrasound has become a primary tool and modality of choice for assessment and management of the patients with any obstetric or gynecological conditions. From simple B mode ultrasound, advances in technology has led to development of Doppler, 3D and even 4D ultrasound and all these sub-modalities have individually developed like specialty and have been now widely used for the assessment of obstetric, gynecological and infertile patients. Even thinking in terms of their applications, individual application is also developing forth and wide. Obstetric ultrasound has grown up into fetal medicine specialty. Gynecological and infertility ultrasound have also developed as specialty ultrasound. It has become difficult for a practicing obstetrician and gynecologist to master these specialized ultrasound. For that reason, these clinicians have to sacrifice a huge chunk of their practice and limit themselves to a very primary obstetric and gynecological practice only, in spite of the fact that every case will not require a specialist's opinion.
This book is designed therefore to help and assist practicing obstetricians and gynecologists to do ultrasound for their own patients and confidently diagnose normal patients and common abnormalities and to direct only the more complex cases to the respective specialties. It is easy to read and understand and straight forward to apply into practice.
Happy reading and wish you success in practice.
