Fetal Medicine

This new book will enable GP's, obstetricians and paediatricians to answer the concerns of the families in their care. It is the first book to make information on this important topic so easily accessible to clinicians. The book is firmly rooted in clinical practice and based on many years of experience, much of it involving the development and implementation of new techniques for examining the fetus in utero. The techniques now available are assessed and
better ways to identify pregnancies which are eligible to their application are proposed. Throughout the book, the special status of the fetus as a patient is emphasized and the concerns and questions of
families are considered, making this the first fully comprehensive and authoritative volume on fetal medicine.
