Riassunto

Major advances in ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis and therapy, and fetal assessment are furthering fetal medicine and clinical perinatology. These developments include: progress in 3-dimensional and color Doppler ultrasound for insights into early embryonic structure and function, counseling for pre-embryonic research, genetic counseling and prenatal informed consent, the use of cardiotocograms (CTGs), ultrasound imaging, Doppler ultrasound, analysis of nucleated red blood cells, and a broad range of clinical topics ranging from the Internet to neonatal intensive care. Under the editorship of Dr. Frank Chervenak and Professors Asim Kurjak and Zoltan Papp, authors and editors of many respected books in this field, The Fetus as a Patient: The Evolving Challenge provides detailed, authoritative coverage of the latest developments in fetal medicine and clinical perinatology. Following an introductory chapter on the moral foundations of leadership in fetal medicine, the book presents 38 chapters in four sections dealing with new developments in ultrasound, the state of the art of prenatal diagnosis and therapy, the challenge of fetal assessment and current perspectives on clinical perinatology. The volume is extensively illustrated throughout and includes bibliographic references and index. The Fetus as a Patient elucidates the current work of the Board of Directors and invited speakers of the International Society of the Fetus as a Patient, which is dedicated to improving all dimensions of fetal diagnosis and therapy.
