Perhaps one of the greatest influences on the course of modern obstetrics in the latter half of the twentieth century has been the introduction of ultrasound. Since the incorporation of ultrasound into clinical practice in the 1960s, more accurate determination of gestational age, documentation of evolving structural abnormalities, and timely recognition of the fetus at risk have blossomed into new avenues of discovery and important steps in our ability to care for the unborn fetus. This ever-evolving field is fraught with controversy, as emerging concepts of both diagnosis and management are added to an already existing body of information within perinatal medicine. William Ott has undertaken the task of collating this wealth of information into a coherent volume for use as it directly relates to patient care. Clinical Obstetrical Ultrasound is designed to guide perinatologists, obstetricians, sonographers, and sonologists alike through an understanding of the clinical aspects of this large and dynamic field.
